Buyers were apprehensive of the April CPI data before the market opened. The performance of gold and silver fell short of expectations after beliefs that a hike in interest rates would put further pressure on economic activity as reflected by the stock market. The relationship between the dollar and gold has become closer on account of the geopolitical scene being relatively quiet.
