Gold slips from record highs as silver cools after $80 surge; India prices stay near Rs 140,000
Gold eased from near record highs on Monday and silver retreated after briefly topping $80 an ounce, as investors booked profits after a year-end surge in precious metals. Spot gold was down 1.7% at $4,455.34 per ounce by 0707 GMT, Reuters said. Reuters The pullback follows a historic 2025 rally fuelled by expectations of further U.S. interest-rate cuts and geopolitical tensions. Gold is up 72% so far this year and silver has gained 181%, Reuters said. Reuters
