FAQs
Why are gold and silver prices falling for a second day in India, 26 August 2026?
Both metals are extending a pullback from last week's record highs, with Comex gold and silver both easing again today. MCX gold and silver followed with similar declines.
Is this two day fall a sign of a bigger correction?
Both metals remain sharply higher over the past week and month, so this looks like a short pause rather than a bigger correction. A much larger and more sustained fall would be needed to change that picture.
Is now a good time to buy after two days of falling prices?
This two day dip offers a calmer entry point after last week's sharp rally to record highs. Spreading purchases across a few sessions remains a safer approach than buying all at once.
