On April 21, gold and silver prices experienced notable declines as traders reacted to ongoing US-Iran negotiations and a stronger US dollar. COMEX gold futures dropped $51 per troy ounce, reaching an intraday low of $4,777, while silver futures fell $2 to $78.17. The decline in precious metals prices comes amid uncertainty surrounding a potential second round of ceasefire talks between the US and Iran, which are expected to conclude on Wednesday. The dollar index remained near 98, making dollar-denominated bullion more expensive for foreign investors. In the Indian market, gold futures on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) fell by ₹900, settling at ₹1,53,051 per 10 grams. Silver futures also saw a decrease, touching an intraday low of ₹2,49,014 per kilogram. Despite these recent losses, gold has gained ₹10,327 over the past three weeks, while silver has rebounded by ₹29,188 during the same period.
