Silver dipped by Rs 400 per kilogram to Rs 71,500 per kilogram from Rs 71,900 in the previous trade. 

Registering losses for the sixth session in a row and paring initial gains, the rupee declined by two paise against the US dollar on Tuesday, to settle at 73.31 (provisional) amid rising crude oil prices and dollar demand from the oil importers.

In the global market, gold fell on Tuesday as the dollar firmed and as markets weighed the chances that the US Federal Reserve this week may signal an eventual easing of stimulus.

Spot gold fell 0.5% to $1,855.99 per ounce by 1:55 pm EDT (1755 GMT), while US gold futures settled down 0.5% at $1,856.40.

Further reducing gold’s appeal, the dollar index firmed after hitting a one-month peak and benchmark yields rose, increasing non-yielding gold’s opportunity cost.
