Gold, Silver Rate Today: Domestic prices dip

Gold and silver prices started slightly lower on the Multi Commodity Exchange of India on Wednesday as traders remained cautious ahead of key US inflation data. Market participants are awaiting the release of the US consumer price index for February later in the day, along with the Personal Consumption Expenditures index, the Federal Reserve’s preferred measure of inflation, which is scheduled to be announced on Friday.

Silver futures on MCX for May 2026 delivery declined by Rs 1,920, or 0.7 per cent, to Rs 2,75,930 per kilogram. Gold futures for April 2026 delivery also slipped, falling Rs 463, or 0.3 per cent, to Rs 1,62,840 per 10 grams.

In global markets, gold prices recorded a slight increase. Spot gold rose 0.3 per cent to $5,208.08 per ounce as of 0243 GMT, while spot silver edged down 0.1 per cent to $88.35 per ounce. Inflation concerns eased after crude oil prices continued to decline, slipping below $90 per barrel.

Gold, Silver Rate Today: Dollar index pulls back

Precious metals staged a recovery on Tuesday as a decline in the US dollar and a drop in Treasury yields offered support to gold and silver prices, said Saumil Gandhi, Senior Analyst – Commodities at HDFC Securities.

He noted that the dollar index pulled back after reaching a 15-week high in the previous session. At the same time, yields on US Treasury bonds eased slightly, which helped create favourable conditions for bullion prices to rebound.

Gold, Silver Rate Today: Why gold prices rose on Tuesday

Gold and silver prices recorded a significant rise on Tuesday, largely influenced by geopolitical factors after US President Donald Trump suggested that the ongoing conflict in West Asia could potentially move towards a resolution, according to Gaurav Garg, Research Analyst at Lemonn Markets Desk.

He added that the conflict has contributed to heightened volatility in financial markets. Surging crude oil prices have also fuelled concerns about inflation, which in turn has affected overall investor sentiment.

Gold, Silver Rate Today: Silver prices rise sharply

Silver prices jumped sharply by Rs 10,975 to reach Rs 2.79 lakh per kilogram in the national capital on Tuesday, while gold registered a modest increase of Rs 400, following strong cues from international markets where a softer US dollar supported demand for safe-haven assets.

After declining for three consecutive sessions, silver rebounded strongly, climbing Rs 10,975, or 4.09 per cent, to Rs 2,79,275 per kg (inclusive of all taxes), compared with Monday’s closing level of Rs 2,68,300 per kg, according to the All India Sarafa Association.

Gold prices also recorded gains, with the 99.9 per cent purity variant rising by Rs 400, or 0.24 per cent, to Rs 1,64,700 per 10 grams (inclusive of all taxes). In the previous trading session, the precious metal had settled at Rs 1,64,300 per 10 grams.

Research Analyst Gaurav Garg from Lemonn Markets Desk said the rise in gold and silver prices on Tuesday was largely influenced by geopolitical developments. He noted that comments by US President Donald Trump indicating a possible resolution to the ongoing conflict in West Asia helped shape investor sentiment, which had remained cautious amid the tensions.

Gold, Silver Rate Today: Geopolitical tensions continue to linger

“Gold traded positive with prices near $5,180, gaining about 0.50%, while MCX Gold rose by ₹1,300 to around ₹1,61,000. The easing in crude oil prices and a weaker dollar supported the uptick in bullion.

However, geopolitical tensions continue to linger and crude price movements will remain a key factor influencing sentiment. For now, gold is expected to trade in a range of ₹1,58,000–₹1,64,000 on MCX, says Jateen Trivedi, VP Research Analyst - Commodity and Currency, LKP Securities.

Gold, Silver Rate Today: Gold: up as Dollar eases

Spot gold is currently moving inversely to the US Dollar Index. The moves are more about Dollar gyrations rather than safe haven demand.

Yesterday, the metal closed with a loss of around 0.60% at $5139 as the Dollar Index eased on on the US President Trump's comments that Iran was nearly very complete, which dragged oil sharply lower . In addition, possibility of G7 nations releasing crude oil from their respective strategic reserves weighed further on oil prices. Decline in oil prices has reduced safe haven demand for Dollar, which is benefitting gold.

Gold needs to take out immediate resistance around $5200 to challenge the next hurdle around $5250/$5280. Support is at $5100, says Praveen Singh Head of commodities and currencies at Mirae Asset ShareKhan.

Gold, Silver Rate Today: MCX Gold rises

Gold prices advanced by Rs 1,853 to reach Rs 1.62 lakh per 10 grams in futures trading on Tuesday, supported by a softer US dollar and improving global market sentiment that boosted demand for the safe-haven asset.

Data from the Multi Commodity Exchange showed that gold contracts for April delivery rose by Rs 1,853, or 1.16 per cent, to Rs 1,62,152 per 10 grams, with a trading volume of 7,355 lots.

Market analysts said the precious metal recovered from losses recorded in the previous session after the US dollar weakened. The currency decline followed remarks by President Donald Trump indicating that the conflict with Iran might be approaching an end.

Gold, Silver Rate Today: What should investors do?

Abhishek Bhilwaria, an AMFI-registered mutual fund distributor at BhilwariaMF, told ET that investors should consider adopting a “buy on dips” approach in the current high-volatility market environment of 2026, particularly as gold and silver trade close to record levels.

To manage risk effectively, he advised investors to use Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to gradually build positions and average out purchase costs. He also suggested that investments in precious metals should generally be limited to about 5–15 per cent of an overall portfolio to maintain balanced diversification.

According to him, any easing of the ongoing conflict could help alleviate worries about a war-driven surge in inflation. Lower inflation expectations may, in turn, reduce the likelihood of central banks raising interest rates, a scenario that typically supports non-yielding assets such as gold.

Gold, Silver Rate Today: Gold, silver ETFs rise

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) linked to gold and silver recorded strong gains of up to 7 per cent on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) on Tuesday as prices of precious metals opened significantly higher. The rally was aided by weakness in the U.S. dollar after U.S. President Donald Trump suggested that the conflict in the Middle East could soon come to an end.

Among silver-based funds, Tata Silver ETF posted the sharpest rise, climbing about 10 per cent to reach an intraday high of Rs 26.74, compared with its previous closing level of Rs 25.06. Other ETFs in the same segment advanced roughly 4 per cent to 5 per cent.

In the gold ETF category, Zerodha Gold ETF led the gains on Tuesday, rising 3 per cent to touch a day’s high of Rs 25.72. Other gold-backed ETFs registered increases of around 1 per cent to 2 per cent, while some remained largely unchanged.

Gold, Silver Rate Today: Spot silver rises 3%

Market participants are now awaiting the release of the US consumer price index for February, scheduled for Wednesday, as well as the Personal Consumption Expenditures index, the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge, due on Friday.

Among other precious metals, spot silver rose 3 per cent to $89.60 per ounce. Platinum gained 1.2 per cent to reach $2,208.16, while palladium edged up 0.2 per cent to $1,693.84.

Gold, Silver Rate Today: Why gold prices dropped on Monday

Gold prices had declined on Monday as rising energy costs heightened inflation concerns and further reduced expectations of an imminent interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve.

According to CME Group’s FedWatch tool, investors expect the Fed to keep interest rates unchanged at the conclusion of its two-day policy meeting on March 18.

Gold is widely viewed as a hedge against inflation, while lower interest rates tend to support the metal because they reduce the opportunity cost of holding a non-yielding asset.

09:34 (IST), Mar, 10

Gold, Silver Rate Today: Gold price outlook

Gold prices rose "due to the news flow from US President Trump himself, stating that there is a potential for de-escalation... So what we could see is that potential inflation expectation starts to tone down given this dramatic fall in oil price," said Kelvin Wong, a senior market analyst at OANDA.

Gold, Silver Rate Today: Spot gold rises nearly 1%, oil prices drop 10%

Spot gold climbed 0.8 per cent to $5,179.52 per ounce as of 0233 GMT. US gold futures for April delivery also strengthened, rising 1.7 per cent to $5,188.70.

The dollar slipped 0.4 per cent, making bullion priced in the greenback more affordable for buyers using other currencies.

Oil prices dropped by more than 10 per cent after Trump said the Middle East conflict could end soon, easing concerns that global crude supplies might face prolonged disruptions.

Gold, Silver Rate Today: Gold prices rise on weaker dollar

Gold prices advanced on Tuesday, supported by a weaker US dollar and a decline in energy prices after US President Donald Trump indicated that the conflict in the Middle East could be nearing an end.

Lower energy costs could ease fears of war-driven inflation, potentially reducing the likelihood that central banks will raise interest rates. Such a scenario tends to support gold, which does not offer yields.

Gold, Silver Rate Today Live Updates: With oil prices crossing the $100 mark, there are fears of inflation rising globally. This has dimmed the prospects of the US Federal Reserve opting for rate cuts in the near term. Gold prices benefit in a low interest rate scenario, and hence have been volatile. Silver is an industrial metal, but its prices are often closely linked to the movement of gold. Gold prices have hit record highs in the recent quarters due to buying by central banks around the world. However, according to the latest World Gold Council report, the pace of buying gold by central banks has also come down.
