“Gold and silver saw profit-taking from recent highs due to a rebound in US bond yields. The US administration’s decision to delay Mexico tariffs by a month added to the cautious sentiment. However, a weakening dollar, which fell to a five-month low and recorded its worst weekly decline since November 2022, provided tailwinds for gold and silver,” Rahul Kalantri, VP Commodities, Mehta Equities Ltd, said.
