Today Gold Rate Big Drop on April 21 | Silver Price & Market News
New Delhi: Gold and silver prices continued their downward trend on April 21, 2026, following a sharp correction seen a day earlier. The decline has been driven by global market pressure, a stronger US dollar, and profit booking by investors.
Why Gold & Silver Prices Fell
- Stronger US Dollar & Rising Yields: Gold dropped over 2% globally, making it less attractive as a non-yielding asset
- Profit Booking: Investors sold after recent highs, leading to a price correction
- Global Uncertainty: Ongoing geopolitical tensions and US-Iran developments added volatility to the market
Silver also declined sharply, often reacting more aggressively than gold due to its industrial demand sensitivity.
