GOLD, SILVER PRICE IN INTERNATIONAL MARKET
Gold was flat on Thursday as investors awaited a raft of U.S. economic data that could influence the Federal Reserve’s policy trajectory, after minutes of its June meeting reaffirmed expectations that interest rates could remain higher for longer, news agency Reuters reported.
According to the latest metal report, spot gold held its ground at $1,918.59 per ounce by 0241 GMT, while U.S. gold futures fell 0.1 per cent to $1,925.00.
Gold is highly sensitive to rising U.S. interest rates, as they increase the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding bullion.
Spot silver rose 0.1 per cent to $23.1292 per ounce, among other precious metals.
