Gold and silver prices are experiencing downward pressure as traders book profits following recent gains. Spot silver has dropped by as much as 8%, while gold has fallen below 4,400 yuan per ounce. Saumil Gandhi from HDFC Securities highlighted that the market is witnessing a correction due to overbought conditions, with the fear and greed index moving towards extreme levels. Gandhi emphasized the necessity of a healthy correction for both metals before they can resume their upward trajectory. He also noted that gold might face deeper pullbacks as investors adjust their portfolios ahead of the month-end, suggesting a period of rebalancing in the market.
