<h1>Gold and silver prices drop sharply amid easing trade tensions and new US trade deals</h1> Gold prices in the national capital fell by Rs 1,400 to Rs 99,620 per 10 grams due to profit-booking and subdued global trends, with 99.5% purity gold dropping Rs 1,200 to Rs 99,250 per 10 grams. Silver prices also declined sharply by Rs 3,000 to Rs 1,15,000 per kilogram after reaching a record high the previous day. The decreases followed optimism over new US trade agreements with Japan and the Philippines, which reduced demand for safe-haven assets like gold and silver. Internationally, spot gold and silver prices also declined amid expectations of easing trade tensions. Market analysts noted that upcoming US economic data and central bank decisions could influence future price volatility.
