According to Ajay Kedia, director of Kedia Advisory, investors’ interest in investing in bullion has declined after the dollar strengthened and bond yields rose, as well as a strong rally in the stock market over the past few months. He said that the pressure on gold and silver had increased since the introduction of the vaccine to prevent the corona epidemic.
