Gold silver prices today: विदेश में सोने की कीमतें स्थिर, चांदी में मामूली दबाव, जानें बुलियन के लिए US यील्ड और डॉलर क्यों अहम हैं?

SUMMARY
# Gold Silver Prices Today: बुलियन बाजार अपडेट

विदेशी बाजारों में सोने की कीमतें स्थिर बनी हुई हैं जबकि चांदी पर मामूली दबाव देखा जा रहा है। US ट्रेजरी यील्ड और डॉलर इंडेक्स बुलियन की कीमतों को सीधे प्रभावित करते हैं। जब डॉलर मजबूत होता है और यील्ड बढ़ती है तो सोना-चांदी पर दबाव आता है क्योंकि निवेशक डॉलर आधारित एसेट्स को प्राथमिकता देते हैं। फेडरल रिजर्व की ब्याज दर नीति, महंगाई डेटा और भू-राजनीतिक तनाव भी बुलियन की दिशा तय करते हैं। फिलहाल निवेशक US आर्थिक आंकड़ों और फेड के अगले कदम पर नजर बनाए हुए हैं।
