Precious metals recover after sharp decline
Gold and silver prices in India witnessed a strong recovery on February 13, reversing the sharp losses recorded in the previous trading session.
On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), silver prices surged by nearly 2%, while gold advanced by around 1%, reflecting renewed buying interest in precious metals. The rebound follows a steep correction of approximately 3% in the prior session, which had exerted significant selling pressure across bullion markets.
In the international market, spot gold regained momentum, trading at approximately $4,960 per ounce on Friday. Spot silver also strengthened considerably, climbing 2.5% to trade above $77 per ounce.
Market analysts attribute the recovery to fresh bargain buying and improved global sentiment, signaling continued volatility but sustained investor interest in bullion assets.
