Gold, silver prices today: Higher margins drive liquidations and intraday swings

The increase in margin requirements has raised the amount of capital traders must maintain, leading to a noticeable cutback in speculative and leveraged positions. In this volatile market environment, these higher costs can prompt profit booking or the forced unwinding of positions.

Gold, silver prices today: Expert advises caution as volatility grips bullion

Manoj Kumar Jain, head of commodity research at Prithvi Finmart, has advised investors to stay away from the precious metals markets until stability returns. Speaking to ET, Jain highlighted that both gold and silver are currently witnessing extreme price volatility driven by a combination of global and domestic factors, including the US-Iran nuclear deal talks, fluctuations in the dollar index, and a partial US government shutdown.

On the international front, Jain noted that gold may find support near $4,440 per troy ounce on a weekly closing basis, with immediate daily support between $4,770 and $4,640 and resistance pegged at $4,955 to $5,050. For silver, support is seen at $71.20 to $64.00, while resistance lies in the $84.40 to $88.80 range.

Domestically, on the MCX, Jain identified support for gold at Rs 150,500 to Rs 147,700 and resistance at Rs 154,200 to Rs 155,800. Silver is currently supported at Rs 225,000 to Rs 212,000, while resistance is expected between Rs 254,000 and Rs 264,000.

Jain emphasised that while geopolitical tensions remain a concern, the potential for a breakthrough in nuclear talks and a stronger dollar index are currently exerting significant downward pressure, making tactical trading highly risky in the short term.

Gold, Silver Price Live: Dollar strengthens

The US dollar strengthened on Thursday, climbing to its highest level in nearly two weeks, which made gold priced in dollars costlier for holders of other currencies and reduced the momentum in precious metals.

Market participants are reassessing expectations following Kevin Warsh’s nomination as Federal Reserve chair, taking into account his preference for a smaller Fed balance sheet and views that suggest a less aggressive approach to interest rate cuts. Signals perceived as hawkish from the Federal Reserve have strengthened expectations that US rate reductions may proceed at a slower pace, supporting the dollar while weighing on non-yielding assets such as gold and silver.

Gold, silver prices live: Support levels, trading calls and macro triggers to watch

Analysts remain divided on the near-term trajectory for precious metals, with some warning that weakness may persist despite expectations of dip buying at lower levels. Jigar Trivedi, Senior Research Analyst at IndusInd Securities, said that although investors may attempt to accumulate at lower prices, the broader trend in silver and base metals still looks weak after the recent rebound failed to sustain. He said MCX Silver March contracts could decline towards Rs 235,000 per kg amid soft global cues.

Manoj Kumar Jain suggested tactical trading levels, as quoted ET, saying, "We suggest buying gold above 154000 with a stop loss below 151800 for the target of 156800-158500 and also suggest buying silver above 270000 with a stop loss below 261100 for the target of 278000-284000."

Gold, silver live updates: Is this the dip to buy or warning of deeper fall?- what investors should do

The sharp correction in gold and silver prices has split market opinion, with some analysts viewing the fall as a buying opportunity while others remain cautious about near-term volatility.

Despite the recent selloff, Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, described the correction as a phase of consolidation rather than a structural reversal in trend. "COMEX Gold is trading near the $4,850–$5,000 zone after correcting sharply from recent highs above $5,500–$5,600. The broader uptrend remains intact, with the pullback reflecting profit booking and healthy price digestion," he said.

On domestic markets, Ponmudi noted that MCX gold futures are currently trading in a lower band after a steep correction from recent peaks. "MCX Gold futures are trading near the Rs1,49,000–Rs1,55,000 zone after a sharp correction from record highs around Rs1,80,000–Rs1,81,000. While the earlier rally led to overextended momentum and profit booking, the broader bullish structure remains intact," he said.

Gold, silver price live: Gold loses momentum as resurgent dollar dampens demand
