Have Gold and Silver Prices Risen Today?
No, prices are flat today. Gold 24 karat is unchanged at ₹1,41,600 per 10 grams, and silver is steady at ₹2,16,840 per kilogram, both level with Friday's close. This is normal for a Saturday, since there is no fresh retail trading. Looking at the wider trend, both metals remain down for the week, with gold off 1.68 per cent and silver down 2.75 per cent compared to a week ago. Over the past month, the losses are steeper still, with gold down 5.39 per cent and silver down 9.16 per cent. Year on year, both remain sharply higher, with gold up 43.84 per cent and silver up 91.66 per cent.
Gold Rate Analysis for Retail Buyers
Gold has slipped to ₹1,41,600 for 24 karat per 10 grams after a soft week and an even weaker month. For jewellery buyers, 22 karat gold is trading at ₹1,29,800 per 10 grams today. The steady monthly decline suggests the metal continues to cool after its sharp gains earlier in the year.
Silver Rate Analysis and Weekly Trend
Silver is trading at ₹2,16,840 per kilogram today, having given back over 9 per cent of its value in the past month. The metal remains far ahead on a yearly basis, up close to 92 per cent, even after the recent pullback.
MCX Closed Today as Markets Observe Weekend Holiday
MCX does not trade on Saturdays, so there is no fresh futures session today. The last traded MCX gold price stood at ₹1,41,006 per 10 grams, and MCX silver was at ₹2,16,449 per kilogram, both carried over from Friday's close. Trading will resume on Monday.
Key Factors Driving Prices This Week
Comex gold in the US rose 0.77 per cent and Comex silver edged up 0.06 per cent in the latest session, suggesting some stabilisation in global bullion markets after a weak stretch. Despite this steadier tone abroad, Indian rates remain well off their highs from a month ago, weighed down by a firmer rupee and softer local demand.
Buying Tips for Today
With gold down over 5 per cent and silver down over 9 per cent for the month, buyers who have been waiting for a correction may find current levels worth considering. Keep an eye on Monday's MCX opening for the next signal on direction. Always check purity certification and making charges carefully before any jewellery purchase.
