Gold is highly sensitive to rising US rates, as these increase the opportunity cost of holding bullion, which pays no interest. Gold is considered an inflation hedge, but rising interest rates reduce the appeal of bullion, which yields no interest.
The world's most important certifier of gold refineries said on Wednesday it wants to recognise firms that gather and refine gold dug up by small-scale miners in developing countries.
Meanwhile, 1 kg of silver in Mumbai, Delhi, and Kolkata is trading at Rs 57,300. In Chennai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad, one kg of silver is selling at Rs 62,300.
