<h1>Gold and silver surge as safe-haven buying follows leader's call for central bank governor resignation and weaker currency</h1> Gold and silver prices rose sharply in the national capital after fresh buying, with 99.9% gold up Rs 600 to Rs 1,00,620 per 10 g and silver up Rs 1,500 to Rs 1,14,000 per kg. Market commentary attributed the move to safe-haven buying after a national leader publicly called for the resignation of a central bank governor, sparking concerns about central bank independence and prompting a weaker domestic currency. Federal Reserve minutes showing caution on inflation and labor markets, and an upcoming central bank chair speech, were cited as key factors influencing investor expectations about monetary policy and market volatility.
