Getting weak signals from global Market and decrease in demands in domestic market has dropped the prices of Gold and Silver. Gold consistently fell in the past two sessions as the dollar slipped and equities eased ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve meeting later in the day. Asian markets remained cautious with investors waiting for cues from the two-day Fed meet, sending the safe-haven yet higher. Gold eased for a second week last week, by 1.2 percent, after rallying to its highest in more than two years in early July after the Brexit vote, which drove up demand for the metal as a haven from risk.

In context to Gold, Silver prices also came down due to decreased industrial and coin makers demands. Among other precious metals palladium also slipped 0.1 percent.
