Gold, Silver ETFs Plunge Amid Geopolitical Shifts
Gold and silver prices went down because people were worried about the world's political situation, but things got better.
This made people sell their gold and silver investments, which are called ETFs.
In India, gold is now around ₹1.51 lakh per 10 grams, and silver is about ₹3 lakh per kg.
Some people think this is a good time to buy more gold and silver, but others are selling to make a profit.
Experts say that these prices might keep changing based on what happens in the world.
It's important to remember that these prices can go up and down quickly, so it's not always a good idea to buy or sell based on short-term changes.
Gold and silver ETFs in India plunged due to investors unwinding positions after US President Donald Trump softened his stance against NATO allies.
Silver prices in India dropped below ₹3 lakh per kg as global silver prices cooled, while gold prices remained stable.
The sharp loss in ETF prices was largely due to a decline in trading prices and the unwinding of premiums, not a collapse in metal prices.
Trump withdrew his threat to impose additional tariffs on NATO allies, leading to a drop in silver prices globally.
Experts advise long-term investors to view the correction as a healthy reset and avoid panic selling.
