Gold and Silver Surge in Delhi Amid US-Iran Tensions
Gold and silver became more expensive in Delhi.
Gold rose to Rs 1,64,400 for 10 grams.
Silver rose to Rs 2,53,500 for one kilogram.
People often buy gold when they are worried about world events.
Tensions between the United States and Iran increased this demand for gold.
A weaker US dollar also helped gold prices rise.
Investors are waiting for new US inflation information.
They also want to know how the Federal Reserve may respond to higher oil prices and inflation.
Delhi gold prices rose Rs 900 to Rs 1,64,400 per 10 grams, a more than five-month high.
Silver gained Rs 3,500 to Rs 2,53,500 per kilogram, extending its rally to three sessions.
Gold benefited from firm international prices, a weaker US dollar and safe-haven demand.
Spot gold rose 1% to $4,646.54 per ounce, while international spot silver remained flat at $69.
