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 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 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 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.

Gold and silver prices moved higher in domestic futures trading on February 18 as investors returned to bullion after the previous session’s fall.

On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), gold contracts for April delivery climbed close to ₹1.53 lakh per 10 grams in early trade, gaining more than 1 per cent. Silver performed even better, rising over 2 per cent to trade above ₹2.35 lakh per kilogram. The rebound came after both metals had witnessed profit-booking and sharp corrections earlier.

In the international market, gold recovered from lower levels as investors continued to treat the metal as a safe-haven asset amid geopolitical tensions and uncertainty over the US Federal Reserve’s future rate decisions. Silver also bounced back in global trade, helping domestic prices strengthen.

Analysts said the current uptrend is being driven by bargain buying at lower levels and strong underlying demand. India’s ongoing wedding season has kept jewellery purchases steady, while recent data showing a sharp rise in gold and silver imports indicates robust consumption as well as investment interest.

However, market experts believe volatility will persist in the short term. Movements in the dollar index, global bond yields and fresh cues from international economic developments are likely to influence bullion prices. Any strengthening of the US currency could limit sharp gains.

Traders are therefore adopting a cautious strategy, preferring to buy on dips while booking profits at higher levels.

Gold has declined about 16% to nearly ₹1.51 lakh per 10 grams from its recent highs, while silver has crashed around 38% from close to ₹3.8 lakh to about ₹2.34 lakh per kg. The correction, instead of triggering a rush to jewellery stores, has led to cautious sentiment as buyers expect prices to soften further before making purchases.

In the physical bullion market, gold in Delhi was quoted at around ₹1.57 lakh per 10 grams, down about 1.4%, while silver slipped over 2% to nearly ₹2.45 lakh per kg. Futures on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) also mirrored the weak trend, reflecting subdued participation from both retail investors and traders.

Jewellers across major cities have reported low footfall despite the price drop. According to trade sources, customers are tracking the market closely but postponing purchases in the hope of a deeper correction. The sharp volatility seen after months of record-breaking rallies has made buyers cautious and more price-sensitive.

The fall in domestic prices follows weak global cues. A stronger US dollar, profit-booking after the earlier surge, easing geopolitical tensions and thin Asian market volumes have reduced the safe-haven demand for precious metals. These factors have collectively put pressure on bullion rates.

Analysts believe the current decline comes after an extraordinary rally through 2025 and early 2026, when both gold and silver scaled historic highs. The ongoing slide is being viewed as a phase of consolidation rather than a long-term reversal.

Gold and silver prices declined on Tuesday, tracking weak global trends and a stronger US dollar. In the domestic futures market, gold was trading around ₹1.54–₹1.55 lakh per 10 grams on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), while silver slipped to nearly ₹2.40–₹2.41 lakh per kilogram.

In the retail market, 24-carat gold was priced at about ₹15,600 per gram and 22-carat gold at around ₹14,300 per gram. Prices showed only small differences across major cities as local taxes and making charges vary.

The fall in bullion prices comes after recent gains, as traders booked profits and global trading remained muted due to holidays in some Asian markets. A strong US dollar also made gold and silver less attractive for investors, putting further pressure on prices.

Silver saw a sharper drop than gold, losing several thousand rupees per kilogram during the session. Gold and silver exchange-traded funds (ETFs) also declined in early trade, reflecting the weakness in the underlying metals.

In the international market, both metals moved lower, which affected domestic sentiment. Gold, which is considered a safe-haven asset, tends to weaken when the dollar strengthens and interest-rate concerns rise, as it does not offer regular returns like fixed-income investments.

Market experts said the current correction is mainly due to profit-booking and global factors rather than a fall in long-term demand. They advise investors not to rush into bulk buying during volatile phases and instead invest gradually to manage price fluctuations.

Gold and silver prices fell sharply on Monday, with gold slipping below ₹1.55 lakh per 10 grams and silver dropping under ₹2.37 lakh per kg on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), as traders booked profits after the recent rally and global cues turned weak.

The decline followed a cooling in bullish momentum after record highs earlier this month and was driven by a stronger US dollar, reduced expectations of immediate rate cuts and long unwinding in the futures market. Globally, bullion prices also eased, limiting fresh buying at higher levels.

In the physical market, 24-carat gold was quoted at around ₹1.56 lakh per 10 grams at the all-India level, while silver hovered near ₹2.46 lakh per kg.

Across major retail centres, gold prices moved in a narrow band with local variations. Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Hyderabad reported 24-carat gold in the range of about ₹1.56 lakh to ₹1.57 lakh per 10 grams, while Chennai traded slightly higher, closer to the ₹1.57 lakh–₹1.58 lakh range. Silver prices were around ₹2.46 lakh per kg in Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata, whereas Chennai and Hyderabad continued to quote higher rates of nearly ₹2.74 lakh per kg, reflecting regional demand and logistics costs.

Market participants said the fall was largely due to profit-booking after gold briefly approached the ₹1.80 lakh per 10-gram mark earlier this month. The softer US inflation data failed to trigger fresh upside as it lowered the urgency for aggressive monetary easing, supporting the dollar and weighing on non-yielding assets such as bullion.

Analysts view the current correction as technical in nature within a broader positive trend supported by central-bank buying, geopolitical uncertainties and long-term investment demand.

Gold and silver prices in India recovered on Friday after a recent slump, driven by bargain hunting from investors. On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), gold for April delivery rose about 1.3% to ₹1,54,800 per 10 grams, while silver for March delivery climbed around 2.2% to ₹2,41,800 per kilogram. Traders said the rebound reflects buying at lower levels after the sharp sell-offs earlier this week.

Despite the recovery, silver remains roughly 42% below its peak, highlighting the continuing volatility in the market. Analysts say the recent upswing is short-term, largely fueled by investors looking to seize value after prices dipped.

Global markets mirrored this trend. Spot gold rebounded nearly 1% to around $4,966 per ounce, while spot silver gained over 2%, recovering from earlier losses. However, strong US economic data, particularly employment figures, tempered hopes of imminent interest rate cuts, keeping precious metals under some pressure.

Market experts note that while prices are volatile, the long-term outlook for both gold and silver remains positive. Central bank buying and safe-haven demand continue to provide support. Additionally, inflows into gold and silver exchange-traded funds (ETFs) indicate steady investor interest.

For buyers, the current situation presents both opportunity and caution. Bargain hunting has fueled recent gains, yet overall prices are still far below previous highs, emphasizing the need for careful, measured investing in these metals.
