Precious metals lost their sheen and closed on a weak note at the end of September. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar, on expectations the U.S. Federal Reserve could soon begin winding down its economic support measures, played a key role in denting sentiment towards precious metals.
As a result, Comex gold fell 3.36% to settle at $1,757 an ounce at the end of September. Comex silver, too, closed on a weak note. The white metal dropped 8.2% to close at $22.05 an ounce.
In the domestic market, MCX gold futures dropped 1.58% to close at ₹46,521 per 10 gm. MCX silver futures witnessed a steeper cut of 5.9% to settle at ₹59,617 per kg at the end of September.
