International Gold And Silver Rate
Silver has stabilised following its most significant single-day decline in over five years, as investors locked in gains after a robust year-end surge. On Tuesday, the metal held steady near $73 per ounce after a 9% tumble in the prior session.
Gold remained largely unchanged, recovering from its sharpest drop in two months. Analysts suggest the retreat was driven by technical overextension and thin holiday liquidity, which intensified recent price volatility, reports Bloomberg.
