Gold and silver prices in India eased slightly on Tuesday after a week of sharp swings in domestic and global markets.
Gold for 10 grams slipped ₹10, trading near ₹1,53,160, while silver fell ₹100 to ₹2,99,900 per kilogram, according to market sources. The modest decline comes after both metals reached record highs earlier this week, followed by a sharp correction. Tuesday saw a small rebound as investors looked for buying opportunities at lower price levels.
Analysts said the current trend reflects a mix of domestic and international factors. The Union Budget 2026 has been a key driver, with traders cautious about possible changes in gold import duties and other policy measures affecting bullion demand. At the same time, international markets remain volatile, influenced by a stronger US dollar, changes in US interest rate expectations, and ongoing geopolitical developments.
Investor sentiment is mixed. Some market participants see the recent dip as an entry point for long-term buying, while others prefer a wait-and-watch approach, waiting for more clarity on both domestic and global cues.
City-wise, gold and silver prices showed minor variations, but the overall trend was a small decline from recent highs. Traders expect volatility to continue in the near term, as domestic investors digest the Budget announcements and international markets respond to global economic developments.
