<h1>Gold drops Rs 550 to Rs 98,570 per 10 grams amid weak global demand and US tariff concerns</h1> Gold prices declined by Rs 550 to Rs 98,570 per 10 grams in the national capital due to muted global demand and continued tariff threats from the US President. The precious metal of 99.9% purity had previously settled at Rs 99,120 per 10 grams. Silver prices remained unchanged at Rs 1,04,800 per kilogram for the second consecutive session. The decline was attributed to subdued global trends, profit-booking by investors, recovery of the US dollar, and diminishing expectations for interest rate cuts following stronger US job market data. Safe haven demand decreased as tariff-related concerns eased after trade deal announcements.
