Bullion tips & updates

Bullion tips : Prices of Gold closed higher in the native market on yesterday in the midst of a flat dollar, as widespread concerns related to economic growth in China & the timing of an interest rate increase by the Federal Reserve remained cornerstone.

Fed Reserve Bank of St. Louis president James Bullard stood firm on his position that economic conditions nationwide are strong enough to allow the Fed Open Market Committee to permit an initial rate increase.
