Flipitmoney
Metal prices have come under pressure as the West Asia conflict fuels inflation concerns, lifting the dollar and US Treasury yields. Gold has slipped to $4,400 an ounce and silver to $65, while copper has fallen to its lowest level since December 2025. Reflecting the weakness, the Nifty Metal index is down 13 percent since January 29, with Vedanta, Hindalco, and NALCO among the top losers.
