  "account": "Delhi's gold prices slipped by ₹200 on Monday, falling to Rs 1,56,400 per 10 grams as the rupee strengthened, global bullion markets lost momentum and domestic equities gained. The metal traded at Rs 1,56,600 on Friday. In contrast, silver experienced a steeper decline, plummeting ₹5,000 to Rs 2.42 lakh per kilogram, including taxes.

Additionally, Federal Reserve officials' hawkish remarks and ongoing tensions in the Middle East provided a floor beneath bullion prices, despite West Asia's supply disruptions and a temporary dip in WTI crude below USD 100.",
