Gold Prices Rise Amid Geopolitical Shifts and Dollar Weakness Gold and silver prices rebounded sharply on Friday, reversing earlier declines after a steep drop in the previous session. The recovery was driven by a weaker U.S. dollar, easing geopolitical tensions, and renewed optimism around U.S.-Iran negotiations. On the Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX), silver futures for May 2026 delivery surged by 2.3% to Rs 2,25,014 per kilogram, while gold futures for April 2026 delivery climbed 1% to Rs 1,40,900 per 10 grams. Globally, spot gold rose 1.1% to $4,428.30 per ounce, and spot silver gained 1.1% to $68.80 per ounce. The rebound followed a dramatic crash in gold prices earlier in the week, which saw the metal fall nearly 3% due to heightened fears of a prolonged Middle East conflict and rising energy costs. U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of a 10-day pause on strikes targeting Iran’s energy infrastructure and his indication of progress in talks with Tehran helped ease market concerns. Analysts noted that the temporary halt in attacks provided temporary relief to investors, though uncertainty over a lasting ceasefire continued to weigh on sentiment. Gold ETFs also saw mixed performance, with several funds declining sharply despite the rally in physical bullion. Nippon India Silver ETF dropped 4.03%, while SBI Silver ETF and ICICI Prudential Silver ETF fell around 4%. Gold ETFs, including ICICI Prudential Gold ETF and Nippon India ETF Gold BeES, also declined by 2.36% and 2.09%, respectively. The divergence between ETFs and physical prices highlighted the complex dynamics at play, with investors shifting between assets based on risk appetite and macroeconomic signals. In international markets, Comex gold futures for April delivery rose 2.04% to $4,465.#u_s_dollar #indusind_securities #u_s_president_donald_trump #mcx_gold_futures #nippon_india_silver_etf
Gold Futures Jump ₹1,997 to ₹1.41 Lakh per 10 Grams on Global Rebound Gold prices rebounded sharply in futures trading on Friday, March 27, 2026, as global markets showed signs of recovery and traders seized opportunities following a steep decline the previous day. The Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) saw the yellow metal for April delivery rise by ₹1,997, or 1.43%, to ₹1,41,490 per 10 grams. This marked a significant reversal from the previous session, where gold futures had plummeted by ₹4,604, or 3.2%, to ₹1,39,493 per 10 grams on Thursday. The June contract also gained ₹1,811, or 1.27%, to ₹1,44,325 per 10 grams, recovering from a previous drop of ₹4,926, or 3.34%, to ₹1,42,514 per 10 grams. The rebound followed a sharp decline in global markets on March 26, 2026, driven by uncertainty over a potential ceasefire in the conflict involving Iran. International gold prices also rose, with the April delivery contract on the Comex climbing by $89.1, or 2.04%, to $4,465.4 per ounce. The June contract similarly advanced by $80.55, or 1.83%, to $4,489.55 per ounce. Analysts attributed the recovery to a pause in tensions, as U.S. President Donald Trump delayed his deadline for Iran to secure a deal to end the war until April 6. This pause provided temporary relief to markets that had been unsettled by nearly a month of hostilities. Jigar Trivedi, a senior research analyst at IndusInd Securities, noted that gold prices had fallen nearly 3% on March 26 due to doubts about a ceasefire and rising energy costs, which fueled inflation concerns. He also highlighted that Trump’s decision to refrain from targeting Iranian energy facilities until April 6 eased market anxiety.#donald_trump #strait_of_hormuz #multi_commodity_exchange #indusind_securities #ram_navami_holiday
Gold Prices Rise on March 25 Amid Global Trends and Dollar Weakness Gold prices surged by ₹5,091 to ₹1.44 lakh per 10 grams in futures trading on March 25, 2026, driven by improving sentiment in the global commodities market and a weaker U.S. dollar. On the Multi Commodity Exchange, the April gold contract climbed 3.66% to ₹1,44,003 per 10 grams. Analysts attributed the rally to easing geopolitical tensions, particularly around the US-Iran conflict, and expectations of potential interest rate cuts amid inflation concerns. Gaurav Garg of Lemonn Markets Desk noted that the price increase was fueled by signs of a ceasefire in the region, which reduced panic selling seen earlier. He highlighted that the global commodities market’s improved outlook bolstered demand for gold as a safe-haven asset. Meanwhile, international gold futures for April delivery rose $157.9, or 3.59%, to $4,559.9 per ounce. Jigar Trivedi of IndusInd Securities added that the weaker dollar made gold more attractive for holders of other currencies, as greenback-priced bullion became cheaper. He also pointed to a decline in oil prices, which eased inflation worries and reduced pressure on global interest rates. The U.S. plan to end the war in West Asia further supported the rebound, with safe-haven demand resurging. Trivedi emphasized that gold’s performance will remain closely tied to the Federal Reserve’s policy decisions, dollar index movements, and geopolitical developments. While the recent rebound suggests price dips may find support, he warned that real yields needing to rise significantly could challenge the metal’s trajectory. The market’s response underscored gold’s role as a hedge against economic uncertainty, with investors balancing risks from inflation, currency fluctuations, and global conflicts.#gold_prices #us_iran_conflict #federal_reserve #indusind_securities #march_25
Huge Crash in Gold Rate in India By Rs 1.43 Lakh in Just 7 Days; Will Gold Price Today Fall Further on 23 Mar? Gold prices in India experienced a significant decline over the past week, with domestic retail rates dropping sharply despite a mild recovery in the latest MCX session. Between March 16 and March 22, 2026, 24 Karat (24K) gold fell by Rs 1,435 per gram, decreasing from Rs 15,742 to Rs 14,597. On a 100-gram basis, this translates to a loss of Rs 1,43,500. Similarly, 22K gold dropped by Rs 1,050 per gram, from Rs 14,430 to Rs 13,380, marking a decline of Rs 1,31,500 per 100 grams. The daily movement also showed weakness, with 24K gold falling by Rs 294 per gram and 22K by Rs 275 per gram. As of the latest retail rates, 24K gold is priced at Rs 14,597 per gram, Rs 1,45,970 per 10 grams, and Rs 14,59,700 per 100 grams. 22K gold stands at Rs 13,380 per gram, Rs 1,33,800 per 10 grams, and Rs 13,38,000 per 100 grams. 18K gold also saw a decline, with rates at Rs 10,948 per gram, Rs 1,09,480 per 10 grams, and Rs 10,94,800 per 100 grams. The decline in domestic gold prices mirrors a broader global trend, with gold tumbling 2 per cent to $4,570 an ounce on Friday, marking its largest weekly fall since 1983. However, the Indian futures market showed some resilience. MCX Gold for the April 2, 2026 expiry opened at Rs 1,48,302 and fell to an intraday low of Rs 1,43,385 before recovering. It later touched a high of Rs 1,48,457, with the last traded price at Rs 1,44,825. The contract settled at Rs 1,44,492, up Rs 333 or 0.23 per cent from the previous close. Experts attribute the decline to rising tensions in the Middle East, which have pushed energy prices higher and raised concerns about prolonged inflation.#gold #india #mcx #fed #indusind_securities
