Recent trading saw silver fall to $73.24 and gold to $4,348.42, as reduced liquidity and profit-taking trimmed earlier substantial gains.
Silver prices declined by over $1 to $73.24 per ounce on January 2, reducing daily gains to 2.4%. Spot gold fell more than $20 to $4,348.42 per ounce, with daily gains narrowed to 0.7%. These movements follow last week’s historic $7 single-day drop for silver and a 4% fall in gold, driven by profit-taking in a low-liquidity market.
