Gold and Silver Prices Rise Today Amid Market Volatility The prices of gold and silver saw a significant increase today, Friday, compared to the previous day, Wednesday. According to the Indian Bullion Jewellers Association, the rate of 24-carat gold rose to 157,043 rupees per 10 grams, up from 156,072 rupees per 10 grams recorded on Wednesday. This marks a rise of 971 rupees in the price of gold since the last update. The price of silver also surged, with the rate for 1 kilogram of silver reaching 263,966 rupees, up from 260,917 rupees per kilogram on Wednesday. The increase in silver prices amounted to 3,043 rupees per kilogram. The surge in gold and silver prices is attributed to ongoing uncertainties in global markets, particularly the unresolved tensions between Iran and the United States. Analysts suggest that these geopolitical factors have kept investors cautious, driving demand for safe-haven assets like gold and silver. Additionally, the recent rise in oil prices has further pressured inflation, making precious metals more attractive as a hedge against economic instability. The Indian government has also played a role in influencing the market. Earlier this week, the government increased the import duty on gold from 6% to 15%, aiming to curb domestic demand and stabilize the market. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also urged citizens to avoid purchasing gold and silver for a year, citing concerns over the strong value of the US dollar against the Indian rupee. These measures have contributed to the fluctuating prices of gold and silver in the domestic market. Despite the recent upward trend, gold prices have remained within a narrow range of 156,000 to 158,000 rupees per 10 grams, while silver prices have fluctuated between 260,000 and 272,000 rupees per kilogram.#gold #iran #united_states #indian_bullion_jewellers_association #prime_minister_narendra_modti

Gold and Silver Prices Drop: Sudden Fall in Silver Prices, Gold Also Becomes Cheaper... 10 Gram Rate Drops to This Amount A significant decline in the prices of gold and silver was observed on Wednesday, with both precious metals experiencing sharp drops. The market saw an unexpected plunge in silver prices, which fell below the previous day’s closing level, while gold also lost value. The drop was particularly notable in the domestic market, where silver prices fell by over 4,000 rupees per kilogram, and gold prices dropped by more than 600 rupees for 10 grams of 24-karat gold. The decline in silver prices began after the market opened on Wednesday, with the price of silver falling from 2,72,628 rupees per kilogram to 2,66,200 rupees per kilogram. This represents a drop of 4,428 rupees per kilogram, marking a significant correction in the metal’s value. Over the past three trading days, silver prices have fallen by 5,646 rupees per kilogram, bringing the current price to 2,66,200 rupees per kilogram. This is a sharp decline from the January high of 4,57,328 rupees per kilogram, with silver now trading 1,91,128 rupees per kilogram lower than its peak. Gold prices also saw a decline, with the 10-gram 24-karat gold rate dropping from 1,57,616 rupees to 1,56,953 rupees. The drop in gold prices was even more pronounced for the 5 June expiry gold contract, which fell by 46,031 rupees from its high of 2,02,984 rupees. The domestic market mirrored these trends, with the Indian Bullion Jewellers Association (IBJA) reporting that the 10-gram 24-karat gold rate fell to 1,57,040 rupees, down from 1,57,611 rupees. Silver prices in the domestic market also dropped, with the rate falling to 2,61,710 rupees per kilogram from 2,66,213 rupees per kilogram.#gold #iran #united_states #strait_of_hormuz #indian_bullion_jewellers_association

Rupee Hits All-Time Low Against Dollar Despite Gold Duty Hike The Indian rupee continued its decline against the US dollar, reaching an all-time low of 95.7450 per dollar on May 13, 2026, despite a recent increase in customs duty on gold imports. The currency fell 0.1% against the greenback, marking its worst performance in the Asia-Pacific region this year. Analysts noted that the rupee’s weakening trend has accelerated, with the currency losing over 6.5% of its value against the dollar since the start of the year. The government raised import duties on gold and silver to 15% from 8% to curb rising foreign exchange outflows and reduce the trade deficit. This move was part of broader efforts to stabilize the rupee amid mounting pressure from global economic uncertainties. However, the measures failed to halt the rupee’s slide, as the currency hit a record low of 95.68 per dollar on May 12, with intraday trading reaching 95.7375. The depreciation of the rupee has been exacerbated by geopolitical tensions, particularly the ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran. The war has driven up global oil prices, increasing India’s import costs and straining its macroeconomic outlook. Brent crude oil prices surged by nearly 50% since the conflict began on February 28, 2026, adding pressure on the Indian economy. Economists warn that the rupee’s decline could worsen without intervention from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Senior economist Radhika Rao of DBS Bank highlighted that significant drops in oil prices or a recovery in portfolio inflows would be necessary to stabilize the currency. She noted that the RBI’s inaction in the market could lead to further depreciation. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) also contributed to the rupee’s weakness, with net selling of Rs 1,959.39 crore on May 12.#gold #india #us_dollar #reserve_bank_of_india #rbi

Akshaya Tritiya Sparks Festive Spending Surge in Nagpur Nagpur: The auspicious occasion of Akshaya Tritiya is set to drive a significant surge in festive spending across the city, with traders anticipating heightened demand for gold, silver, vehicles, electronics, and ritual items. The day, observed as one of the “3.5 muhurtas” in the Hindu calendar, is considered highly propitious for initiating new ventures, making investments, and undertaking charitable acts. Residents are expected to leverage the occasion to mark new beginnings, with families traditionally purchasing gold, silver, and puja essentials to invite prosperity and blessings. The cultural and emotional significance of Akshaya Tritiya continues to fuel consumer sentiment, despite a sharp rise in gold prices. Jewellers in Nagpur remain optimistic, with gold priced at 1.54 lakh rupees per 10 grams and silver at 2.60 lakh rupees per kilogram, excluding GST. Rajesh Rokade, president of the All India Gems and Jewellery Domestic Council, noted that while gold prices have surged from around 92,000 rupees per 10 grams last year to over 1.5 lakh this year, buying interest remains robust. He predicted that demand could surpass last year’s levels, driven by the belief that purchases made on this day bring enduring wealth and spiritual merit. Beyond gold and silver, traders expect strong activity in sectors such as automobiles, electronics, and home appliances. The day is also seen as an ideal time for launching businesses, purchasing property, and investing in long-term assets. Local merchants have reported increased foot traffic in markets and showrooms, with customers using the occasion to celebrate and invest simultaneously.#nagpur #gold #akshaya_tritiya #rajesh_rokade #all_india_gems_and_jewellery_domestic_council

Gold and Silver Prices Surge Amid Global Market Volatility Gold and silver prices have experienced a significant surge in Hyderabad's bullion markets, driven by fluctuating international market conditions. On April 14, 2026, the prices of gold and silver saw a sharp increase, with the demand for these precious metals reaching record levels. The rise in prices was attributed to a combination of factors, including global market uncertainties, rising crude oil prices, and fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar. In Hyderabad's bullion markets, the price of 24-carat gold, which is commonly used for jewelry and investment purposes, rose by ₹1,470. This brought the price of 10 grams of pure gold to ₹1,53,930. Similarly, the price of 22-carat gold, which is widely used in the manufacturing of ornaments, increased by ₹1,350. The price of 10 grams of this type of gold now stands at ₹1,41,100. These figures reflect a substantial increase compared to previous days, as the market saw a surge in demand for gold amid economic uncertainties. Silver prices also saw a notable rise, with the price of one kilogram of silver increasing by ₹5,000. The current price of silver stands at ₹2,65,000 per kilogram. Analysts have pointed to the global market's instability as a key factor behind this surge. The uncertainty surrounding geopolitical tensions, inflationary pressures, and the fluctuating value of the U.S. dollar have all contributed to the increased demand for silver as a safe-haven asset. The rise in gold and silver prices has been closely monitored by investors and traders, who have been adjusting their portfolios in response to these market dynamics. Experts suggest that the upward trend in precious metal prices is likely to continue unless there is a significant shift in global economic conditions.#silver #gold #hyderabad #reserve_bank_of_india #bullion_markets

Gold-Silver Rate: Silver 1.96 Lakh Cheaper Than High, 10 Gram Gold 50,000 Cheaper, Check New Rates The prices of gold and silver have experienced a notable surge in the past week, yet both remain significantly below their all-time highs. According to data from the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), silver prices have risen sharply, but they are still trading at a discount compared to their peak levels.

Silver prices, which reached a record high of ₹4,39,337 per kilogram, are currently trading at ₹2,39,934 per kilogram, a discount of ₹1,96,037. This decline from the all-time high is attributed to market dynamics and global economic factors.

Domestic markets also saw a rise, with silver prices moving from ₹2,27,813 to ₹2,39,934 per kilogram, an increase of ₹12,121. Gold prices, meanwhile, have also seen a weekly uptick. The 24-karat gold rate rose from ₹1,49,680 per 10 grams on April 2 to ₹1,52,690 per 10 grams by April 5, a gain of ₹3,010. Domestic markets mirrored this trend, with gold prices climbing from ₹1,46,608 to ₹1,50,330 per 10 grams. However, the current rate of ₹1,52,690 per 10 grams is still ₹50,294 below the all-time high of ₹2,02,984 per 10 grams. The article highlights the disparity between recent price movements and historical peaks. For instance, while silver prices have surged in the past week, they remain far from their previous record. Similarly, gold prices have risen but are still significantly lower than their peak.#silver #gold #multi_commodity_exchange #april_2026 #indian_bullion_jewellers_association

The rebound followed a steep drop of nearly Rs 23,400 per 100 grams of 24K gold, driven by improved global sentiment and renewed buying interest amid ongoing US-Iran diplomatic discussions. The upward trend reflected a return of investor confidence after a volatile start to the week. In the latest trading session, 24K gold prices rose to Rs 15,284 per gram, up Rs 49 from the previous session. Similarly, 22K gold climbed to Rs 14,010 per gram, gaining Rs 45.

For instance, 1 gram of 24K gold was priced at Rs 15,284, compared to Rs 15,235 the prior day. For 8 grams, the price rose to Rs 1,22,272, up Rs 392, while 10 grams of 24K gold reached Rs 1,52,840, reflecting a gain of Rs 490. On a bulk scale, 100 grams of 24K gold hit Rs 15,28,400, up Rs 4,900. In the 22K segment, prices also rose in line with broader market trends. The rate per gram increased to Rs 14,010 from Rs 13,965.

Gold, silver prices today (April 12): MCX steady; city-wise rates in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai Gold and silver prices remained stable on April 12, with the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) reporting no significant fluctuations in the day's trading. Market participants observed a cautious stance as investors awaited further economic indicators and global demand trends. The prices in major Indian cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai reflected this stability, with no major deviations from previous trading levels. In Delhi, the price of gold remained unchanged at ₹4,850 per 10 grams, while silver hovered around ₹48,000 per kilogram. Mumbai saw similar trends, with gold prices staying at ₹4,845 per 10 grams and silver at ₹47,950 per kilogram. Chennai's market also mirrored this pattern, with gold at ₹4,840 and silver at ₹47,900. These figures indicate a lack of immediate pressure on the precious metals market, despite ongoing global uncertainties. The stability in prices was attributed to a combination of factors, including subdued demand from traditional buyers and a lack of significant supply-side disruptions. Analysts noted that the absence of major geopolitical events or economic data releases contributed to the muted trading environment. However, they also warned that any shift in global economic sentiment or changes in central bank policies could quickly alter the market dynamics. The MCX's decision to keep prices steady aligns with broader trends in the commodities market, where investors have been adopting a wait-and-see approach. This cautious behavior is partly due to the uncertainty surrounding inflationary pressures and the potential for interest rate adjustments in key economies.#gold #delhi #mumbai #chennai #multi_commodity_exchange

Gold-Silver Rate Fall: Sudden Drop in Silver Price, Gold Falls 11 Rupees per 10 Grams On Thursday, gold and silver prices experienced a sharp decline following a dramatic surge the previous day. Silver prices plummeted by over ₹4,700 per kilogram, making it 2.04 lakh rupees cheaper than its peak level. Gold also saw a drop, with 10 grams of 24 karat gold falling by 11 rupees. The sudden fall came after a previous surge driven by tensions between the United States and Iran, which had pushed silver prices to a high of ₹4,39,337 per kilogram. The drop was immediate, with silver prices opening at ₹2,35,133 per kilogram on Thursday, down from ₹2,39,918 per kilogram on Wednesday. This decline made silver 4,785 rupees cheaper than its previous day's closing price. Analysts noted that the price swing was influenced by the easing of geopolitical tensions, which had previously driven demand for safe-haven assets like gold and silver. Gold also saw a decline, with the 10-gram 24-karat gold price falling to ₹1,50,647 on Thursday, down from ₹1,51,776 on Wednesday. This marked a drop of 1,129 rupees compared to the previous day's closing price. The metal's price is now 52,337 rupees below its lifetime high of ₹2,02,984 per 10 grams. The market reaction was swift, with silver prices dropping by 2.04 lakh rupees per kilogram from their peak. This decline highlights the volatility of precious metals, which are often sensitive to global economic shifts and geopolitical events. The initial surge in prices on Wednesday was attributed to fears of a potential conflict between the US and Iran, which briefly drove demand for gold and silver as investors sought safe-haven assets. However, the market quickly adjusted, with traders selling off their holdings as tensions eased.#us #silver #gold #iran #precious_metals

Gold finds support at 100-day SMA near 4,600 Gold is holding steady on Monday, supported by the 100-day simple moving average (SMA) near 4,670, paring losses after Friday’s pullback triggered by robust US jobs data and renewed escalation in the Iran conflict, which dimmed Fed rate-cut expectations. The momentum indicators show bearish pressure easing: the MACD is turning higher above its signal line, though still below zero, while the RSI is flatlining just below the neutral 50 level—signaling that, although selling momentum has cooled, the broader negative bias remains intact. A rebound off the 100-day SMA support could target a key confluence zone where the medium-term ascending trendline meets the 20-day SMA at the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the March 2–23 pullback near 4,578. Then, a sustained recovery above 4,850 would be needed to neutralize the emerging downside bias and open the way back toward the 50-day SMA near 4,944. Conversely, a clean break below 4,600 would expose the 4,550–4,375 range that contained price action in late March, followed by the 200-day SMA near 4,150, just above the 4,000 psychological level. All in all, gold has found some support at 4,600 and is attempting to rebound, but the lack of follow-through buying keeps the near-term outlook bearish. Price remains under pressure below the uptrend line despite repeated attempts to reclaim it. Holding above 4,550 is key in preventing momentum from turning decisively more negative. The Iran conflict and its geopolitical implications have significantly influenced market sentiment, particularly for gold, which is often seen as a safe-haven asset. The renewed tensions have kept investors cautious, limiting conviction in the precious metal’s upward trajectory.#gold #us_dollar #iran_conflict #us_jobs_data #fed_rate_cuts

Gold Vs. Bitcoin: XAUUSD Strength Builds While BTC Attempts Rebound Gold maintains its defensive position as Bitcoin struggles to recover from a recent sharp decline. The two assets, though influenced by similar macroeconomic factors, exhibit stark differences in their market behavior. Gold serves as a traditional safe-haven asset, while Bitcoin, a high-risk growth asset, faces volatility tied to liquidity and risk appetite. The divergence between the two became evident after the US-Iran conflict, with gold rebounding following President Trump’s comments on a potential ceasefire, while Bitcoin remained under pressure. Macroeconomic forces continue to shape the dynamics between gold and Bitcoin. Rising US Treasury yields, which have surpassed 4.30%, are limiting gold’s upside potential in the short term. A strong US dollar also exerts downward pressure on both assets, though gold benefits from geopolitical uncertainty and safe-haven demand. Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s performance is more sensitive to liquidity conditions, dropping when risk appetite wanes and recovering as liquidity improves. Bitcoin’s technical analysis reveals a complex pattern. Since December 2022, the cryptocurrency has formed an ascending broadening wedge, indicating heightened volatility. The price surged above $120,000 before reversing, forming a rounded top pattern that signaled distribution at higher levels. A subsequent bear flag triggered a sharp decline to the $75,000 level, with further support at $50,000 to $60,000. If this support holds, Bitcoin may attempt a recovery toward $100,000. A breakout above this level would be critical to sustain bullish momentum. The Bitcoin-to-gold ratio highlights the relative weakness of Bitcoin against gold. The ratio broke below a long-term trendline at 25 in October 2025, confirming Bitcoin’s underperformance.#us #gold #bitcoin #iran #president_trump

Gold miners slide sharply as bullion extends steep losses on rate fears Gold prices fell sharply, wiping out gains made in 2026 as concerns over interest rates and geopolitical tensions persisted. The decline in gold came amid fears that central banks may continue to raise interest rates to combat inflation, making gold less attractive as an investment. The market also remained volatile due to ongoing tensions between the United States and Iran, which have kept investors wary of potential disruptions to global oil supplies. Analysts noted that while gold typically serves as a hedge against economic uncertainty, the current environment has not provided the same level of support.

Gold Price Today: Current Rates for 18K, 22K, and 24K Gold in Major Indian Cities Gold prices in India experienced a notable decline on Monday, with futures trading at Rs 1.36 lakh per 10 grams, marking a sharp drop of Rs 8,089. This decline followed a broader global trend, as gold futures on the Multi Commodity Exchange fell 5.6% to Rs 1,36,403 per 10 grams. The drop continued a losing streak for gold, which had already lost Rs 13,974, or 8.82%, the previous week. Analysts noted that the yellow metal started the week with a gap-down opening, signaling potential further declines amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East and rising inflation concerns. “Gold resumed with a gap down on Monday and is likely to continue its downside momentum for the fourth consecutive week amid tensions in West Asia that have stoked inflation fears and rate hike bets in the near future,” said Aamir Makda. Global markets also saw gold futures on Comex extend their losing streak for the fifth straight session, with the April contract declining by $202.4, or 4.42%, to $4,372.5 per ounce. Jigar Trivedi highlighted that the Middle East conflict intensified inflation fears, prompting major economies to consider liquidity measures, including gold sales, to offset the war’s impact. Over the past week, overseas gold futures had dropped $486.8, or 9.6%, settling at $4,574.9 per ounce. Here are the current gold prices in major Indian cities: In Mumbai, 24K gold is priced at Rs 14,002 per gram, 22K at Rs 12,835, and 18K at Rs 10,502. Kolkata, Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Ahmedabad follow similar rates, with 24K gold at Rs 14,002 per gram and 18K at Rs 10,502. Jaipur and Bhubaneswar report slightly higher prices for 24K gold, at Rs 14,017 per gram, while Kanpur and Delhi show rates of Rs 14,017 for 24K.#gold #comex #multi_commodity_exchange #jigar_trivedi #aamir_makda

Gold Price Drops To 4-Month Low, Silver Down 3%: Check Rates In Your City Gold and silver prices declined sharply on Monday, with gold reaching a nearly four-month low and silver falling over 3% in global markets. The drop followed a trend of sustained declines, with spot gold falling to around $4,340 per ounce and marking its ninth consecutive session of losses. US gold futures also saw significant declines, while silver mirrored the trend, losing over 3% in international trade. On the MCX exchange, gold opened with a 5% drop, and silver fell by 6%, reflecting broader market weakness. In India, 24-carat gold prices slipped by Rs 10 to Rs 1,45,960 per 10 grams, while 22-carat gold declined by Rs 10 to Rs 1,33,790 per 10 grams. Silver prices dropped more sharply, falling Rs 100 to Rs 2,44,900 per kg. The price variations across cities showed slight differences, with Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Vadodara, Ahmedabad, and Kerala reporting prices ranging from Rs 14,596 to Rs 14,857 for 24-carat gold and Rs 13,379 to Rs 13,619 for 22-carat gold. Silver prices remained consistent at Rs 2,499 per 10 grams across most cities, though Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata quoted Rs 2,44,900 per kg, while Chennai maintained a higher rate of Rs 2,49,900 per kg. The decline in bullion prices is attributed to a combination of global economic factors. Rising crude oil prices have intensified inflation concerns, while expectations of higher interest rates have reduced the appeal of gold as an investment. Gold does not offer returns like interest-bearing assets, making it less attractive in a high-rate environment. Additionally, a stronger US dollar and higher bond yields have increased the cost of gold for overseas buyers.#silver #gold #middle_east #mumbai #us_federal_reserve

Gold Erases Annual Gains as Middle East Conflict Sparks Inflation Concerns Gold prices fell sharply on Friday, erasing all of the metal’s gains for the year as tensions in the Middle East intensified fears of rising inflation. The decline marked the ninth consecutive day of losses for the precious metal, with bullion dropping nearly 5% to below $4,300 per ounce during Asian trading sessions. The drop followed a surge in energy prices driven by the ongoing conflict, which has complicated efforts by central banks to cut interest rates in the near term. The war has heightened concerns about global inflation, as rising energy costs and disrupted supply chains weigh on economies worldwide. Analysts noted that the conflict has reduced the likelihood of immediate rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks, which has been a key factor supporting gold’s value in recent months. Gold, which does not generate income through interest or dividends, has struggled as higher rates make holding the metal less attractive compared to other assets. The decline in gold prices has been particularly steep since the conflict began, with the metal posting its largest weekly drop since 1983. Investors have increasingly turned to traditional assets like Treasury bonds and corporate stocks, which offer higher yields in a rising rate environment. Meanwhile, the war has also fueled speculation about potential geopolitical risks, further dampening demand for gold as a safe-haven asset. Market participants are closely watching developments in the Middle East, as prolonged instability could lead to sustained inflationary pressures. The U.S. Federal Reserve has signaled that it remains committed to its tightening cycle, with officials emphasizing the need to keep rates elevated until inflation returns to target levels.#gold #energy_prices #central_banks #middle_east_conflict #u_s_federal_reserve
