Gold and Silver prices in International market

According to the report published by Reuters, gold prices eased on Friday after rallying to a one-week high above the key $1,750 level in the previous session, as the dollar rebounded and made the metal expensive for holders of other currencies.

The spot gold fell 0.1 per cent to $1,754.64 per ounce by 0139 GMT, after rising nearly 1.8 per cent on Thursday as the dollar index slipped.

Meanwhile, the dollar recouped most of those losses on Friday and began the final quarter of 2021 at close to its highest level of the year. U.S. gold futures dropped 0.1 per cent to $1,755.90.

The report also stated that gold is traditionally seen as an inflation hedge, although reduced central bank stimulus and interest rate hikes tend to push government bond yields up, in turn translating into a higher opportunity cost for gold that pays no interest.

Silver fell 0.6 per cent to $22.06 per ounce, revealed the metal report by Reuters.
