Gold and silver prices in India registered marginal gains in early trade, reflecting stable demand and firm trends in global markets. According to market data, the price of 24-carat gold rose by ₹10 to trade at ₹1,67,090 per 10 grams. 22-carat gold also saw a similar increase and was priced at ₹1,53,160 per 10 grams.
Silver prices moved up slightly as well. The metal gained ₹100, taking the rate to ₹3,80,100 per kilogram in major Indian markets. The modest rise comes after recent volatility in precious metal prices, driven by global economic concerns and fluctuations in currency markets.
Market experts say gold and silver continue to attract investor interest as safe-haven assets amid uncertainty around global growth, interest rate outlooks, and geopolitical developments. Internationally, gold prices have remained near elevated levels, supported by steady demand from investors and central banks, while silver has also benefited from industrial demand alongside its role as a hedge asset.
Despite the gains, analysts note that price movements remain cautious, with traders closely tracking cues from global markets, including US economic data and movements in the dollar. Any sharp changes in interest rate expectations or global risk sentiment could influence prices in the near term.
In India, gold prices also factor in import duties, taxes, and local demand, which can cause variations across cities. Silver prices similarly vary based on industrial demand and global supply conditions.
