International gold and silver prices fell on Monday as the rollout of a COVID-19 vaccine in the United States drove optimism in wider financial markets with investors hoping for a swift economic recovery.
Hopes of a global recovery and a decision to extend trade talks between Britain and the European Union also supported European shares.
However, a solidly lower U.S. dollar index limited some of the selling pressure.
Investors were waiting for the U.S Federal Reserve's two-day policy meeting starting on Tuesday for cues on monetary policy.
Domestic gold and silver ended weak on Monday, tracking overseas prices.
