GOLD, SILVER PRICES IN INTERNATIONAL MARKET
Gold held near three-month lows on Wednesday after strong U.S. economic readings offset bullion’s traditional safe-haven status, while traders positioned for Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s speech and more data for clues on rate hikes, news agency Reuters reported.
According to the latest metal report, spot gold rose 0.1 per cent to $1,915.22 per ounce by 0346 GMT, hovering close to its lowest level since March 16 at $1,910. U.S. gold futures were flat at $1,924.10.
“Strong economic data (in the U.S) strengthened the dollar to send gold back towards its June-low overnight,” said Matt Simpson, senior market analyst at City Index, adding that bullion appeared to be technically driven with bears booking profits.
Spot silver fell 0.1 per cent to $22.87 per ounce, among other precious metals.
