Gold and Silver Prices Crash Sharply Across Hyderabad
After a long period of record-high prices, gold and silver rates have suddenly taken a steep fall. On Saturday, bullion markets witnessed a major drop in both gold and silver prices, bringing huge relief to buyers planning purchases during the festive season. Most notably, silver, which had touched sky-high rates in recent days, dropped by a massive ₹13,000 per kilogram in just one day.
Gold and Silver Rates in Hyderabad:
In Hyderabad, the price of silver fell by ₹13,000 per kilogram, settling at ₹1,90,000 compared to ₹2,03,000 on Friday. Gold prices also followed the same trend. The price of 24-carat pure gold dropped by ₹1,910 per 10 grams to ₹1,30,860. Similarly, 22-carat ornamental gold declined by ₹1,750 per tola to ₹1,19,950.
Reasons Behind the Price Drop:
Experts attribute this sudden decline to global developments and profit booking by investors. U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the import tariffs imposed on China were temporary and that he would soon sign a major trade deal with Chinese President Xi Jinping. This statement eased global market uncertainty, leading to reduced demand for gold and silver as safe-haven assets.
With heavy selling in international markets, supply surged, triggering a sharp price drop. Globally, spot gold prices plunged by more than $100 per ounce, while silver fell by around $3 per ounce. Experts predict that both gold and silver prices could fall further in the coming days.
