Gold falls ₹10 to ₹1,62,870, Silver slips to ₹2,84,900

Gold prices in the domestic market slipped slightly on Friday, while silver also recorded a small decline amid cautious trading in global commodity markets.

According to market data, the price of 24-carat gold declined by ₹10 to ₹1,62,870 per 10 grams. Meanwhile, silver prices fell by ₹100 to ₹2,84,900 per kilogram in the local market.

Similarly, 22-carat gold prices also dropped by ₹10, with the metal trading at around ₹1,47,590 per 10 grams in several major cities. Gold prices vary across cities due to factors such as local taxes, transportation costs and regional demand.

Market participants said the marginal fall comes as investors remain cautious and track developments in global markets. Precious metals have been witnessing fluctuations in recent sessions as traders respond to changes in the US dollar, economic data and geopolitical developments.

Globally, gold and silver have remained volatile due to ongoing tensions in the Middle East. The uncertainty surrounding the conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran has increased interest in safe-haven assets like gold. During periods of geopolitical stress and financial market uncertainty, investors often shift funds toward precious metals to protect their portfolios.

Analysts said movements in the US dollar index, global bond yields and economic indicators are likely to influence bullion prices in the coming sessions. Market participants are also closely watching key US economic data releases, which could affect expectations around interest rates and investment flows into commodities.

On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), both gold and silver futures have witnessed notable price swings during the week, reflecting the uncertain global environment.

Gold hits ₹1.63 lakh, silver touches ₹2.74 lakh

Gold and silver prices surged in early trade on Thursday as rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East boosted demand for safe-haven assets. Investors turned to precious metals amid uncertainty surrounding the conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran, which has heightened volatility in global financial markets.

On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), gold futures for April delivery traded between a low of ₹1,61,525 and a high of ₹1,63,142 per 10 grams during the session. The metal opened higher at around ₹1,62,750 per 10 grams, extending gains from the previous trading day.

Silver prices also saw strong buying interest. MCX silver futures for May delivery moved between ₹2,65,466 and ₹2,74,251 per kilogram in early trade, reflecting a sharp rally as investors increased their exposure to bullion.

Analysts said the rise in gold and silver prices was largely driven by safe-haven demand amid escalating geopolitical tensions and uncertainty in global markets. A softer US dollar and volatility in equity markets also supported the upward momentum in precious metals.

In the physical market, gold prices across major Indian cities remained elevated. 24-carat gold traded around ₹1.66-₹1.67 lakh per 10 grams, while 22-carat gold hovered above ₹1.53 lakh per 10 grams, depending on city-wise taxes and jewellers’ margins.

Gold at ₹1.67 lakh, Silver near ₹2.95 lakh

Gold and silver prices in India remains elevated on Wednesday, 4 March 2026, as investors sought safe-haven assets amid geopolitical uncertainty and ongoing volatility in global markets.

24‑carat gold was quoted around ₹1.67 Lakh per 10 grams, while 22‑carat gold stood at approximately ₹1.53 Lakh per 10 grams in major cities. City-level variations were observed due to local taxes and logistics, with Delhi seeing 24K gold at ₹1,67,770 per 10 grams and 22K at ₹1,53,790 per 10 grams. Similar rates were reported in Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Chennai.

On the international front, gold slightly eased from recent highs, trading near $5,118 per ounce, as profit‑taking and a firmer U.S. dollar moderated gains. However, persistent geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Middle East, continued to support bullion prices.

Silver also rebounded, trading near ₹2,94,900 per kilogram in Delhi, slightly below recent peaks around ₹3.15 Lakh per kg. Prices were influenced by global market sentiment, currency fluctuations, and short-term profit-booking by traders.

Analysts noted that bullion demand remained strong as investors continue to hedge against uncertainty. Yet, intermittent profit-booking and the stronger dollar have led to periodic corrections. Market watchers are closely monitoring geopolitical developments, crude oil movements, and currency trends, as they heavily influence domestic bullion prices.

In local physical markets, gold and silver demand was supported by cultural festivities, which kept retail activity active despite moderate intraday corrections. Traders advised buyers to keep an eye on both global and domestic factors before making purchase decisions.

Gold ₹1.73 lakh, Silver ₹2.94 lakh

Gold and silver prices surged sharply as escalating tensions in the Middle East drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Heightened geopolitical risks following the US–Israel strikes on Iran triggered volatility across global equity markets, boosting demand for precious metals.

In India, 24-carat gold climbed to ₹1,73,090 per 10 grams, marking a strong rebound from recent levels. The rally reflects a sharp increase of nearly ₹6,000 per 10 grams over a short span as buyers rushed to hedge against uncertainty. 22-carat gold also moved higher in line with the broader trend, tracking gains across major cities including Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai.

Silver prices remained firm, trading around ₹2.94 lakh per kilogram in domestic markets. On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), silver witnessed heightened volatility but held near elevated levels as investment inflows supported prices.

Globally, spot gold prices rallied significantly, supported by safe-haven flows and concerns that the conflict could widen, impacting oil supply routes and global trade. Rising crude oil prices have added to inflation concerns, further strengthening gold’s appeal as a hedge. US gold futures also advanced in tandem with spot prices.

Market analysts say geopolitical instability typically benefits bullion, especially gold, which is considered a long-term store of value during crises. Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) backed by gold and silver also recorded increased inflows, reflecting institutional participation in the rally.

However, experts caution that bullion prices may remain volatile in the near term. Movements in the US dollar, global bond yields and further developments in the Middle East will likely dictate the next trend. If tensions persist or escalate further, gold could test higher levels, while silver may continue to track both safe-haven demand and industrial outlook.

Gold around ₹1.60  lakh, Silver near ₹2.85 lakh

Gold and silver prices in India stayed steady, supported by global uncertainties and demand for safe investments.

In domestic markets, 24‑carat gold traded near ₹1,60,000 per 10 grams, while silver hovered around ₹2.85 lakh per kilogram. These levels are similar to the previous session, showing that prices are holding rather than falling sharply.

On the Multicommodity Exchange (MCX), gold futures were around ₹1,57,900 per 10 grams, up slightly by 0.2%, and silver futures were near ₹2,59,700 per kilogram. Internationally, spot gold remained above $5,200 an ounce and silver around $90 an ounce, keeping domestic prices supported.

City-wise, 24‑carat gold was quoted at about ₹1,60,460–₹1,60,690 per 10 grams in major cities like Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, and Bangalore. Silver prices ranged between ₹2,65,930 and ₹2,66,320 per kilogram depending on the city and dealer.

Experts say that safe-haven demand is keeping prices stable. Investors often buy gold and silver during uncertain times, such as global political tensions or weak stock markets. At the same time, some short-term traders are booking profits, which keeps prices from rising sharply.

While local prices can vary slightly because of taxes, making charges, and dealer margins, the overall trend is steady. Gold and silver remain attractive for people who want a safe investment or to protect their savings from market ups and downs.

Gold steady at ₹1,61,900, Silver dips to ₹2,84,900

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.

Gold at ₹1.61 lakh, Silver near ₹2.85 lakh

Gold prices in India rose further on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, with the precious metal holding above the ₹1.60-lakh mark, while silver traded close to ₹2.85 lakh per kilogram in the futures market. The gains were supported by firm global trends, a weaker rupee and continued safe-haven demand.

On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), gold futures inched up by about ₹10 to trade around ₹1,61,790 per 10 grams, maintaining the strong levels seen earlier this week. In the physical market, retail prices also remained elevated across major cities. Silver futures, however, showed mild volatility and were last quoted at around ₹2,84,900 per kg, slightly lower by about ₹100 from the previous close.

In the domestic bullion market, 24-carat gold continued to trade at premium levels in key centres such as Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata and Bengaluru. The average retail price of 24K gold stayed above ₹1.61 lakh per 10 grams, while 22K gold hovered around ₹1.48 lakh. City-wise variations were marginal, reflecting a broadly uniform trend across the country.

The rise in gold prices is largely in line with firm international markets, where persistent geopolitical tensions and uncertainty over global trade policies have boosted demand for safe-haven assets. A softer rupee against the US dollar has further pushed up domestic bullion rates, making imports costlier and supporting local prices.

Silver, though slightly down in the day’s trade on MCX, continued to remain at historically high levels in the physical market, tracking strength in industrial demand and global price momentum.

Market experts say investors are increasingly turning to gold as a hedge against volatility in equities and currency movements. The sustained rally is also being closely watched by jewellers and retail buyers, as high prices may influence demand ahead of the upcoming wedding and festive season.

Gold up at ₹1.61 lakh, Silver tops ₹3 lakh

Gold prices moved up slightly in the domestic market on Monday, while silver also recorded a notable increase, tracking firm global trends and continued investor demand for safe-haven assets.

According to market data, gold climbed by about ₹10 to ₹1,61,360 per 10 grams in the national capital. In the previous session, the precious metal had closed at ₹1,61,350 per 10 grams.

Silver prices rose by ₹100 to ₹3,00,100 per kilogram, compared with the earlier close of ₹3,00,000 per kg.

In the futures market on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), both metals showed a positive trend due to fresh buying by traders. Analysts said the rise was mainly supported by global factors, including firm international prices and steady demand for bullion as a hedge against economic uncertainty.

In the international market, gold traded higher, while silver also gained, reflecting strong investor interest. A weaker dollar and concerns over global economic conditions further supported the uptrend in precious metals.

Gold slips to ₹1.59 lakh, silver at ₹2.74 lakh

Gold prices in the domestic bullion market slipped marginally on Monday, tracking subdued local demand even as international rates moved sharply higher on fresh global uncertainties. The price of 24-carat gold fell by ₹10 to ₹1,59,270 per 10 grams, while silver declined by ₹100 to ₹2,74,900 per kilogram in early trade.

The 22-carat variant also witnessed a similar drop, easing to ₹1,45,990 per 10 grams. Across major metros, gold prices remained largely aligned, with Mumbai and Kolkata quoting 24-carat gold at ₹1,59,270, while Chennai continued to trade at a premium. Silver prices were mostly uniform across key cities, though Chennai again recorded higher levels.

The mild correction in domestic retail prices comes at a time when global bullion is witnessing strong buying interest. In international markets, gold climbed close to the $5,200-per-ounce mark, supported by a rush towards safe-haven assets after the US Supreme Court struck down sweeping tariff measures. The development has created uncertainty around future trade policy and boosted investor appetite for precious metals.

Silver outperformed gold in global trade, jumping nearly 5%, aided by a combination of safe-haven demand and optimism around its industrial consumption outlook.

Market participants said the divergence between local and global prices reflects currency movements, import cost dynamics and the timing of domestic price adjustments rather than a change in the broader trend. The underlying sentiment for bullion continues to remain positive due to geopolitical risks and trade-related volatility.

However, analysts advise investors to avoid aggressive buying at current elevated levels. With prices near record highs, a staggered buying strategy on corrections is seen as a more prudent approach for long-term investors.

Going ahead, the direction of gold and silver will largely depend on the movement of the US dollar, clarity on trade policy and global risk sentiment, while domestic prices will also be influenced by rupee trends and physical demand conditions.

Gold tops ₹1.56 lakh, Silver near ₹2.70 lakh

Gold prices registered a slight increase in the domestic market on Thursday, with the metal trading at ₹1,56,500 per 10 grams, up by ₹10 from the previous session. Silver also moved higher, gaining ₹100 to ₹2,70,100 per kilogram, reflecting a modest but steady trend in the bullion segment.

The rise in gold prices was seen across major cities, with 22-carat gold priced around ₹1,43,450 per 10 grams, while retail rates varied marginally depending on local levies and jewellers’ margins. Chennai continued to record higher price levels compared to Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata, in line with its traditional premium in bullion trade.

Silver prices remained largely uniform in key markets, trading close to ₹2.70 lakh per kg. Market participants attribute the metal’s firmness to consistent industrial demand and supportive international trends.

Analysts say the domestic bullion market is closely tracking global signals, particularly the movement of the US dollar and international gold rates. The yellow metal continues to draw interest as a safe-haven investment amid ongoing economic uncertainties, which has helped prices remain near elevated levels despite only small day-to-day changes.

Jewellers noted that retail buying is steady, supported by the ongoing wedding season and long-term investment demand. However, high prices have prompted many customers to opt for lighter jewellery or staggered purchases instead of bulk buying.

While the latest increase is marginal, bullion prices have remained significantly higher compared to previous years, underlining the strong underlying sentiment in precious metals. Traders expect the market to remain range-bound in the near term, with any sharp movement likely to be driven by global macroeconomic data, inflation trends and central bank policy signals.
