Gold Rate Forecast for April 27–May 2, 2026: After Sharp Drop, Will Prices Rise or Stay Under Pressure? Gold prices in India experienced a significant correction during the week of April 20–23, 2026, with 24K gold declining by approximately Rs 22,300 per 100 grams. Despite this sharp drop, the yellow metal stabilized in the final trading session of the week, with 24K gold priced at Rs 15,404 per gram, 22K gold at Rs 14,120 per gram, and 18K gold at Rs 11,553 per gram. The decline was attributed to shifting global sentiment, including cautious optimism around potential progress in US-Iran peace talks and rising crude oil prices, which reignited inflation concerns. The correction in gold prices followed a volatile period, with broader market cues remaining uncertain. On April 26, 2026, the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) in India recorded a weekly loss for gold, with prices falling nearly Rs 400 between April 20 and April 24. The exchange closed at Rs 1,52,799 per 10 grams, reflecting a daily gain of Rs 1,038 or 0.7%, but the weekly performance remained negative at Rs 359 or 0.23%. Analysts noted that while short-term buying emerged at lower levels, overall sentiment remained cautious. Internationally, spot gold showed mild resilience, rising 0.38% to USD 4,710.30 per ounce, while U.S. gold futures edged up 0.2% to USD 4,714.40 per ounce. However, global gold prices were still down more than 2% for the week, influenced by macroeconomic factors such as a stronger U.S. dollar and rising bond yields. Higher crude oil prices continued to pose a key risk, as they could push inflation higher and sustain expectations of prolonged elevated interest rates, further supporting the dollar and bond yields—both of which act as headwinds for gold. Analysts highlighted the interconnectedness of market forces.#gold_prices #ubs #multi_commodity_exchange #us_iran_peace_talks #rajeev_sharan
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. Similarly, gold prices have climbed, though they remain far from their historical high. 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. On April 2, 2026, silver was priced at ₹2,32,495 per kilogram, but by April 5, it had climbed to ₹2,43,300 per kilogram, reflecting a weekly increase of ₹10,805. 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
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 and Silver Prices Plummet Amid Market Volatility The prices of gold and silver experienced a sharp decline on Thursday, with silver dropping to a record low and gold also witnessing significant losses. In the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), silver fell by nearly 18,000 rupees or 7% to trade at 2,24,500 rupees per kilogram, while gold prices dropped by over 6,000 rupees or 4% to 1,47,100 rupees per 10 grams. This marked a substantial retreat from their previous record highs, with gold losing 55,000 rupees from its peak and silver declining by 2.15 lakh rupees from its all-time high. The market turmoil was triggered by remarks from former U.S. President Donald Trump, who announced on Wednesday that the United States had achieved most of its objectives in the Iran conflict and hinted at a major action within two to three weeks. His comments sent shockwaves through global markets, leading to a surge in oil prices and a sharp decline in precious metals. Analysts noted that the uncertainty surrounding potential geopolitical developments heightened risk aversion among investors, prompting a sell-off in gold and silver. In international markets, gold prices fell 2.15% to $4,710.95 per ounce, while silver dropped 5.20% to $72.108 per ounce. The decline in gold and silver was mirrored by a steep drop in gold and silver exchange-traded funds (ETFs), with silver ETFs losing nearly 5% and gold ETFs declining by over 2%. The rapid sell-off raised concerns about the stability of the precious metals market, particularly as investors sought safer assets amid geopolitical uncertainty. The drop in gold and silver prices has been attributed to a combination of factors, including the impact of Trump’s statements, shifting investor sentiment, and broader economic uncertainties.#iran #donald_trump #multi_commodity_exchange #u_s #gold_silver_prices
Gold and Silver Prices Drop Significantly From All-Time Highs Silver and gold prices have experienced notable declines from their peak levels in recent weeks. While the market saw fluctuations during the past week, silver remains significantly cheaper than its all-time high, with prices dropping by over ₹2.11 lakh per kilogram. Gold, too, has fallen below its previous high, with rates now approximately ₹55,000 lower than the peak. The domestic market for precious metals has seen consistent volatility. On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), silver prices fluctuated during the week, closing at ₹2,27,750 per kilogram on Friday. This marks a decline of ₹10,717 compared to the previous week’s high of ₹2,32,364. Similarly, gold prices fell to ₹1,47,270 per 10 grams on Friday, down ₹717 from the previous week’s peak. The Indian Bullion Jewellers Association (IBJA) reports that gold prices in the domestic market have dropped by ₹4,276 per 10 grams over the past four trading days, while silver prices have fallen by ₹10,717 per kilogram. These figures reflect a broader trend of declining prices for both metals, despite occasional fluctuations. It is important to note that the rates provided by IBJA are standardized across the country, but additional costs such as 3% GST and making charges may vary by region, affecting the final price for consumers. For investors considering gold or silver ETFs, it is advisable to consult financial experts before making any decisions, as market conditions can change rapidly.

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
Stock Markets Closed for Ram Navami Today: Check NSE and BSE Holiday Schedule Indian stock markets will remain closed on Thursday for Ram Navami, with both the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) observing the holiday. The closure will affect trading for the Nifty50 and Sensex indices, though the commodity market, operated by the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), will open in the evening session at 5 pm. The holiday schedule for 2026 includes 16 planned market closures, with three already passed. Following Ram Navami, additional holidays will be observed on March 31 for Mahavir Jayanti and April 3 for Good Friday, creating a long weekend for traders. After Good Friday, the next closure will be on April 14 for Ambedkar Jayanti. Subsequent holidays include May 1 (Maharashtra Day), May 28 (Bakri Id), June 26 (Muharram), September 14 (Ganesh Chaturthi), October 2 (Gandhi Jayanti), October 20 (Dussehra), November 10 (Diwali Balipratipada), November 24 (Guru Nanak Jayanti), and December 25 (Christmas). Markets experienced a rebound after days of losses, driven by optimism over potential US-Iran negotiations. Reports suggested a 15-point ceasefire proposal from the US to Iran, delivered via Pakistan, eased tensions. Iran’s indication that non-hostile vessels could transit the Strait of Hormuz further boosted sentiment. However, analysts caution that volatility may persist despite the positive outlook. Global markets also saw gains overnight, with oil prices declining after the proposed ceasefire. Brent crude futures dropped 2.17% to $102.22 per barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate crude fell 2.20% to $90.32 per barrel. In the US, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.66%, the S&P 500 gained 0.54%, and the Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.77%.#multi_commodity_exchange #national_stock_exchange #bombay_stock_exchange #ram_navami #mahavir_jayanti

Gold Silver Rate Today Live Updates (23 March, 2026): Silver hits lower circuit, plunges 11%; gold drops 7% on MCX as crude surge rattles metals Gold and silver prices fell sharply on Monday, driven by rising inflation fears, elevated oil prices, and growing expectations of global interest rate hikes. The decline was marked by a sharp selloff on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), where gold futures for April delivery dropped Rs 8,089, or 5.6%, to Rs 1.36 lakh per 10 grams. Internationally, gold prices also slid over 5%, reaching their weakest level of 2026 and posting its worst weekly performance in decades. Silver prices mirrored the trend, hitting their lower circuit on MCX and falling Rs 20,409, or 9%, to Rs 2.06 lakh per kilogram. Analysts attributed the sharp decline to a combination of macroeconomic pressures, profit-booking, and liquidity-driven selling. The slump was exacerbated by surging oil prices, which intensified inflation concerns and shifted investor sentiment toward anticipating delayed interest rate cuts. A stronger US dollar and rising Treasury yields further pressured bullion, increasing holding costs and making dollar-denominated metals more expensive for global buyers. The decline in gold and silver came amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, which pushed oil prices higher and fueled inflation fears. These factors reduced the appeal of non-yielding assets like gold, which has traditionally served as a safe-haven investment. However, the selloff highlighted the growing influence of macroeconomic forces over traditional safe-haven demand. Gold ETFs also faced significant declines, with prices dropping up to 9% as higher crude oil prices and geopolitical tensions raised inflation expectations.#gold_prices #comex #multi_commodity_exchange #silver_prices #geojit_investments_ltd
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.

MCX gold prices rise 2% to ₹147,978/10 grams; silver rebounds more than ₹7,000 amid mixed cues over West Asia conflict Gold and silver prices surged on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) on Friday, March 20, 2026, following a two-day market-wide selloff driven by geopolitical tensions in West Asia. The rally came as investors shifted focus from the Middle East conflict to U.S. monetary policy and global economic indicators. Gold and silver prices climbed sharply in the early trading hours, with gold rising 2.09% and silver rebounding over ₹7,000 per kilogram. As of 9:18 a.m., MCX gold prices increased by ₹3,024 to ₹147,978 per 10 grams, up from ₹144,954 at the previous day’s close. Silver prices surged ₹7,085 to ₹238,545 per kilogram, compared to ₹231,460 at the prior market close. Analysts attributed the rebound to renewed investor interest in safe-haven assets amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, which had previously triggered a selloff in precious metals. The global gold market also saw gains, with COMEX gold prices rising 2.59% to $4,725.10 per ounce, following a dip to $4,635.80 during Thursday’s trading. The U.S. dollar’s mixed performance further influenced gold’s trajectory. The Bloomberg US Dollar Spot Index edged up 0.20% to 99.4260, though it had previously traded near the 100 mark. Analysts noted that the dollar’s inverse relationship with gold meant a slight decline in U.S. currency could boost demand for the metal. The conflict in West Asia, particularly the U.S.-Iran tensions, played a pivotal role in shaping investor sentiment. Crude oil prices also fluctuated, cooling to $105 per barrel after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu clarified that the U.S. was not involved in recent attacks on Iran’s natural gas reserves.#iran #benjamin_netanyahu #multi_commodity_exchange #u_s #west_asia
Gold and Silver Prices: Sharp Decline Followed by Mild Recovery On March 19, gold and silver prices in India experienced a significant drop. Gold fell to ₹9,000 per 10 grams, while silver plummeted to ₹29,000 per kilogram. However, prices showed a slight recovery on the following day, though the rebound was not as strong as the previous day’s decline. The decline was evident in the intraday trading on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX). Silver dropped by 12% during the session, reaching ₹29,000 per kilogram, while gold fell by 6%, hitting ₹9,000 per 10 grams. This sharp correction followed a period of record highs in January, when gold reached ₹1.93 lakh per 10 grams and silver hit ₹4.20 lakh per kilogram. Since then, prices have steadily declined, with gold now trading at ₹47,000 per kilogram and silver at ₹1.89 lakh per kilogram. On the recovery day, silver prices rose slightly to ₹2,31,887 per kilogram, and gold climbed to ₹1.46 lakh per 10 grams by 4:25 PM. However, the rebound was modest compared to the previous day’s steep decline. Analysts attribute the drop to the strengthening of the US dollar, which has made gold and silver less attractive to investors. Internationally, gold is trading at $4,646.14 per ounce, down nearly 10% over the past month, while silver is at $72.29 per ounce. The decline in global prices has spilled over into the Indian market, reflecting broader trends in the commodities sector. The sharp correction in gold and silver prices has raised questions about market sentiment. Investors are closely monitoring the recovery, as the metals remain key assets for both hedging and speculative purposes. However, experts caution that fluctuations in these markets are influenced by a mix of factors, including global economic conditions, interest rates, and geopolitical developments.#silver #gold #india #us_dollar #multi_commodity_exchange
Gold approaches Rs 1.70 lakh, silver nears Rs 3 lakh amid safe-haven buying driven by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East Precious metals, including gold and silver, have shown strong upward momentum this week, fueled by escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and heightened volatility in the commodities market. Despite brief intraday pullbacks and profit-taking, the overall trend for gold and silver remains bullish. Gold futures for April 2 on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) broke through the Rs 1,65,000 resistance level, trading near Rs 1,69,880. However, the price closed slightly lower on Friday at Rs 1,61,675, slightly below the previous day’s close. Silver futures for May 5 on MCX also surged, surpassing the Rs 2,85,000 mark and trading close to Rs 3,00,000 amid elevated volatility. Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, noted that gold and silver approached record highs before experiencing mild corrections, while crude oil prices spiked due to concerns over supply disruptions. He emphasized that traders are actively participating near key breakout levels, though the high volatility underscores the importance of disciplined risk management. Technical indicators suggest sustained strength in the gold market, with the metal likely to test Rs 1,70,000 if support holds. A drop below Rs 1,57,000 could trigger further corrective pressure toward Rs 1,50,000. For silver, the Rs 2,55,000–Rs 2,65,000 range is now a strong demand zone, with potential for the price to extend toward Rs 3,00,000–Rs 3,05,000. However, a decline below Rs 2,60,000 might lead to short-term consolidation. Ponmudi advised traders to remain cautious around recently tested support levels, as macroeconomic and geopolitical risks continue to influence market sentiment.#middle_east #multi_commodity_exchange #ponmudi_r #enrich_money #comex
US-Iran-Israel War Triggers Safe-Haven Rush, Check Gold, Silver Prices Today Gold and silver prices surged on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) in India on Wednesday as tensions over the Iran war drove investors toward safe-haven assets. The sharp rise in precious metals followed heightened geopolitical uncertainty, with markets reacting to escalating conflicts in the region. Retail gold prices in India reached Rs 16,761 per gram for 24 karat, while 22 karat and 18 karat gold were priced at Rs 15,364 and Rs 12,571 per gram, respectively.

The upward movement in domestic bullion mirrored global trends, as risk appetite remained subdued amid the ongoing conflict. International markets also saw a rebound in gold prices, with spot gold rising 1.6% to $5,168.69 per ounce. US gold futures for April delivery gained 1.1% to $5,178.40. The rally followed a sharp sell-off the prior day, when gold had dropped over 4% to its lowest level since February 2023, driven by a stronger US dollar and concerns about delayed interest rate cuts due to persistent inflation. Oil and gas prices also climbed as energy flows faced disruptions from the expanding conflict. The geopolitical tensions have further pressured equity markets, with investors reducing exposure to riskier assets. City-wise gold prices showed consistent rates across major Indian cities, with Chennai and Hyderabad at Rs 3,149 per 10 grams, while Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Pune, Vadodara, Ahmedabad, and Kerala recorded Rs 2,949 per 10 grams.#us #iran #israel #multi_commodity_exchange #mcx
