After falling by about 1% the day before due to weak US jobs data, gold prices slightly declined on Monday as it became clear that the Federal Reserve will maintain its aggressive interest rate rise agenda.

Last week, physical gold prices in India fell to a discount as low local rates and a decline in the value of the rupee stifled demand during the holiday season. High prices also caused problems in other Asian financial centers. The largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund in the world, SPDR Gold Trust, saw its holdings drop by 0.21 % to 944.31 tonnes on Friday.
In the meantime, 1 kilogram of silver costs Rs 60,800 in Mumbai, Delhi, and Kolkata. One kilogram of silver costs Rs66,000 in Chennai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad. Spot silver dropped 1.7% to $19.76 for an ounce.
