Gold and silver prices showed mixed movement in domestic markets on April 15, 2026, as global cues and shifting investor sentiment kept bullion trade volatile.
Gold prices rose marginally by ₹10 to trade around ₹1,53,940 per 10 grams in the physical market, reflecting mild buying interest. On the other hand, silver prices declined by ₹100, slipping to around ₹2,54,900 per kilogram, indicating some weakness after recent gains.
On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), both metals witnessed fluctuating trends throughout the session. Gold traded in a narrow range as investors remained cautious, while silver showed slight downward pressure after opening higher earlier in the day.
The mixed trend in bullion prices was largely influenced by global developments. Hopes of easing geopolitical tensions, particularly linked to possible US–Iran talks, reduced the appeal of gold as a safe-haven asset. At the same time, softer crude oil prices helped ease inflatio concerns, limiting strong upward momentum in precious metals.
Internationally, gold prices remained under pressure after touching recent highs, as improving global risk appetite prompted investors to shift towards equities. A stronger US dollar also weighed on gold prices, making it more expensive for holders of other currencies.
Silver, which has both industrial and investment demand, showed relative volatility. While global industrial demand continues to provide support, profit booking at higher levels led to a slight decline in domestic prices.
In major retail markets across India, gold rates remained largely stable with minor variations depending on local demand and taxes. Prices of 22-carat and 24-carat gold continued to hover near recent levels, reflecting steady consumer demand.
Market experts noted that bullion prices are currently moving within a limited range, tracking global economic signals, currency movements, and geopolitical developments. Investors are also closely watching interest rate cues from major central banks, which could influence future price direction.
