Gold and silver prices fell sharply on Monday as rising bond yields weighed on investor demand for precious metals, according to CNBC.
Higher yields on bonds tend to make non-yielding assets such as gold and silver comparatively less attractive to investors, since bonds offer a return while precious metals do not generate income on their own.
The decline reflects a broader dynamic in financial markets where shifts in bond yields influence the relative appeal of different asset classes, including commodities held primarily as stores of value.
Specific price levels and percentage movements were not detailed in the available report.
