Have Gold and Silver Prices Risen Today?
Neither metal has moved today, as there is no weekend trading. Both gold and silver are flat at 0.00% on the day. Gold is up 5.13% over the week, 13.25% over the month and 61.76% over the year. Silver is up 4.32% over the week, 11.08% over the month and 111.95% over the year.
Gold Rate Analysis for Retail Buyers
For buyers, the weekend price simply holds Friday's level, so there is no fresh discount or premium to chase. At ₹162,800 per 10g for 24K, the metal sits 61.76% higher than a year ago, when it was ₹100,640. The 22K rate of ₹149,233 is the more relevant number for jewellery. Making charges and GST will still apply on top.
Silver Rate Analysis and Weekly Trend
Silver has run harder than gold. At ₹247,520 per kg, it has more than doubled over the past year, up 111.95% from ₹116,780. The weekly gain of 4.32% shows steady momentum rather than a spike. Buyers of coins and bars should note that the year's move has been sharp, so timing matters more here than with gold.
MCX Closed Today as Markets Observe Weekend Holiday
The MCX is shut for the weekend, so these are last traded levels, not live prices. MCX gold last traded at ₹162,440 per 10g, roughly unchanged. MCX silver last traded at ₹246,360 per kg, up 1.28%. Trading resumes when the exchange reopens on the next working day.
Key Factors Driving Prices This Week
- Comex Gold Jumps 1.97%: International gold rose $90.20 to $4,661.60 per ounce, lending support to domestic rates when trading resumes.
- Comex Silver Up 1.33%: Silver added $0.91 to $69.01 per ounce overseas, in step with gold's strength.
- Weekend gap: Indian rates are frozen until Monday, so any further overseas move will only show up in the next session.
Buying Tips for Today
With markets shut, there is no live pricing today, so treat these figures as a reference, not a live quote. If you plan to buy, wait for the exchange to reopen to see the fresh rate. Always check the 22K rate for jewellery, and confirm making charges and GST before you pay.
