Gold, Silver Rate Highlights: MCX Gold, MCX Silver prices rise on US-Iran peace talk hopes; will the uptrend sustain this week?

Gold, Silver Rate Today Live Updates: Why are gold and silver prices volatile? Why is gold not behaving like a safe haven? Gold prices have fallen by 10.6% since the beginning of the Iran conflict. This movement at the surface has been counter intuitive. According to an HDFC Bank report, gold and the US dollar show a strong negative correlation over the last 5 decades. Modelling gold prices over the medium term (2003-22) shows that a 1% increase in the DXY is associated with a 0.78% decline in gold prices. In periods of high volatility, this sensitivity is likely to be higher. So which way are gold and silver prices headed? Track TOI’s live coverage:
