Why are the prices falling?

After the news of the ceasefire between India and Pakistan and the Russia-Ukraine conflict in Europe, the prices of gold and silver are falling in the global market. The US has reduced the tariff on Chinese goods from 145 percent to 30 percent, while China has also reduced the tariff on American goods from 125 percent to 10 percent. This led to a rise in stock markets around the world and created a 'risk-taking mood' among people. Due to this, the demand for safe investments like gold decreased.
