NEW DELHI: Gold futures prices continued its slide after the duty cut while silver futures prices also saw profit booking after Reddit frenzy lost steam on Tuesday.
Silver prices rocketed as retail investors, egged on by messages on Reddit, pile into the market in an attempt to push up prices. The retail investment frenzy in silver has left dealers from the US to Singapore scrambling for bars and coins to meet demand.
