Gold and Silver Price Today in India, 25 May 2026: Both Metals Rise as Iran Peace Hopes Return, Gold at ₹1.60 Lakh, Silver Surges 1.65%
The gold price today in India is ₹15,998 per gram for 24-carat gold, up 0.40% from Friday. The silver price today in India is ₹2,76,780 per kg, jumping 1.65% as the week opens on a positive note.
Bullions.co.in headlines for today read "Gold Prices Jump on Iran Peace Hopes" and "Silver Slides as Investors Monitor US Diplomacy and Global Risks" — two headlines that together tell the full story. Gold is rising on fresh optimism about a possible US-Iran deal. Silver is more cautious, with buyers stepping in but momentum still fragile. COMEX silver is up 2.55% to $78.15, the strongest single-day gain in over a week.
This is a big week for data. US first-quarter GDP and initial jobless claims are due on 28 May. Both numbers will directly shape Fed rate expectations and, in turn, gold and silver prices.

What Is Driving Gold and Silver Prices Today?
Iran Peace Hopes Return, Gold's Main Driver Today
Today's Bullions.co.in headline reads "Gold Prices Jump on Iran Peace Hopes." Fresh reports over the weekend suggested that back-channel diplomatic contacts between Washington and Tehran have resumed, with Pakistani and Omani mediators actively involved. Any credible progress toward reopening the Strait of Hormuz would lower crude oil prices, ease inflation fears, and reduce the "higher for longer" rate risk — all of which are gold-positive in the medium term.
Crucially, markets are not yet fully pricing in a deal. This means gold is rising on hope rather than certainty. If talks collapse again, as they did in late April, this gain could reverse quickly.
Silver Outperforming on COMEX, But Caution Remains
The other Bullions.co.in headline today reads "Silver Slides as Investors Monitor US Diplomacy and Global Risks." That headline appears to reflect early morning caution before silver recovered and rallied strongly. By 13:45 IST, silver had jumped 1.65% on the spot market and 2.55% on COMEX — well ahead of gold.
Silver is benefiting from two things today. First, the Iran peace hopes reduce the "higher for longer" rate risk, which improves industrial demand expectations. Second, the COMEX session has seen fresh buying from investors who believe silver is still undervalued relative to gold at this ratio.
US GDP and Jobless Claims on 28 May, The Week's Key Risk
Positive Iran sentiment has helped gold, but subsequent US economic data has repeatedly pressured prices lower in May 2026. This pattern is likely to repeat this week. US first-quarter GDP and initial jobless claims are due on 28 May. If GDP comes in stronger than expected, it removes the case for rate cuts, which would be negative for both metals. If GDP disappoints, it could trigger a sharp bullion rally.
Moody's Downgrade Still in the Background
The US credit downgrade from Moody's — which happened last week — has not gone away. The $40 trillion US debt crisis, as quantified by gold analyst Pierre Lassonde, is creating conditions that could allow gold to reach $17,250 per ounce in the long term. Whilst that specific target is speculative, the broader point stands: a downgraded US credit rating reduces confidence in dollar-denominated assets, which structurally supports gold as an alternative store of value. This is a slow-burning factor, but it adds to the medium-term bullish case for gold.
Import Duty and Weak Rupee
The 15% import duty raised on 13 May is still fully in effect. The rupee remains near ₹96 against the dollar. These two structural factors mean domestic Indian gold and silver prices will stay elevated relative to global spot prices, regardless of what COMEX does on any given day. This is why even when gold corrects on COMEX, the fall in Indian retail prices is always smaller in percentage terms.

Near-term MCX gold support is at ₹1,57,000. A break above ₹1,62,000 would signal a fresh rally toward last week's high. For MCX silver, ₹2,70,000 is firm support. A break above ₹2,80,000 would open up a retest of the ₹2,85,000 to ₹2,90,000 zone. This week's GDP data is the single most important catalyst to watch.
