Silver tumbled 3% to 56.47 on June 25—its lowest in months—as a 13-month-high dollar and rising rate-hike bets punish income-free metals. Gold held near 4,024.

Gold eased 1.7% to 4,120 and silver fell 3.7% to 62.61 on June 22 as a firmer dollar and US rate-hike bets outweighed a fading Iran premium.

Gold and silver fell Tuesday as rate-hike fears pressured precious metals and Wall Street banks reassessed their gold forecasts.
