<h1>Gold snaps eight-day rally, drops about Rs1,000 to Rs1,06,070 per 10g as profit-taking hits; silver retreats</h1> Gold prices reversed an eight-day rally, falling about Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,06,070 per 10 grams as profit-taking followed record highs; silver also retreated from lifetime peaks. Domestic spot and multiple futures contracts on the commodity exchange declined, with notable intraday drops in October and December gold futures and in December and March silver futures. Market commentary attributed the correction to profit-booking, a softer dollar amid expectations of US rate cuts, and geopolitical and trade uncertainties sustaining elevated price levels. Analysts expect continued volatility with upside potential driven by macro and policy developments.
