Gold prices reached record highs in the international market and after the bullish headlines, the price hike was limited. As a result, gold and silver prices also rose at a slow pace in the domestic market.

Silver prices rose from $ 30.61 to $ 31.20 per ounce. Analysts say that in the last few days, there has been a lot of volatility in the bullion market over the federal policy. Now that interest rates have come down, the pace of bullish traders has slowed down a bit. Investors and traders will now be eyeing the latest US economic data.
