Precious metals in India showed a mixed trend on Thursday, with gold inching up slightly and silver easing after a recent rally.
The price of 24‑carat gold rose by about ₹10, with ten grams trading at ₹1,61,900 in major cities, while 22‑carat gold hovered around ₹1,48,410 per ten grams. On the other hand, silver saw a small decline of roughly ₹100, with one kilogram priced near ₹2,84,900.
Analysts say gold’s stability reflects continued safe-haven demand amid global uncertainties, including geopolitical tensions and trade-policy pressures. Although there has been some profit-taking after recent gains, gold prices remain comfortably above key support levels. Globally, bullion prices have slightly retraced from recent highs but continue to be supported by macroeconomic factors such as currency movements and risk sentiment.
Silver’s slight fall is seen as a normal post-rally consolidation after a period of volatility. Unlike gold, silver has significant industrial demand, which can amplify price swings. Traders noted that investors are booking profits after the metal’s recent sharp rise, contributing to the modest decline.
For investors, these levels serve as indicators for market sentiment. While gold remains relatively stable, silver may continue to see short-term swings depending on global economic news, currency fluctuations, and industrial demand.
