Why did the decline come
The launch of the Corona virus vaccine in Russia has raised hopes of controlling the epidemic in the world. Due to this, investors took risk in the stock markets and reduced investment in yellow metal. This has seen pressure on gold. According to experts, the price of gold and silver may fluctuate in the coming days. In fact, all eyes are on the outcome of the third phase testing of the Russian vaccine.
