Have Gold and Silver Prices Risen Today?
No, prices are flat today itself, since there is no fresh retail trading on a Saturday. Gold 24 karat is unchanged at ₹1,52,140 per 10 grams, and silver is steady at ₹2,32,620 per kilogram, both level with Friday's close. However, the weekly move has been dramatic. Gold has surged 6.08 per cent and silver has jumped 6.63 per cent compared to a week ago. Over the past month, gold is up 4.30 per cent and silver has gained 2.60 per cent. Year on year, both remain sharply higher, with gold up 49.04 per cent and silver up a striking 101.63 per cent.
Gold Rate Analysis for Retail Buyers
Gold has jumped past ₹1,52,000 for 24 karat per 10 grams, its strongest weekly gain in recent months. For jewellery buyers, 22 karat gold is trading at ₹1,39,462 per 10 grams today. The sharp rally has pushed the metal well above both its monthly and yearly reference points, marking a fresh high for 2026.
Silver Rate Analysis and Weekly Trend
Silver is trading at ₹2,32,620 per kilogram today, having climbed even faster than gold this week, up 6.63 per cent. The metal has now more than doubled over the past year, up 101.63 per cent, extending its remarkable run through 2026.
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 ₹1,51,985 per 10 grams, up 0.11 per cent, while MCX silver settled at ₹2,31,804 per kilogram, up 0.15 per cent. Trading will resume on Monday.
Key Factors Driving Prices This Week
Comex gold in the US jumped 2.37 per cent and Comex silver surged 3.56 per cent in the latest session, pointing to strong global momentum behind this week's rally. Renewed safe haven demand, a softer US dollar, and growing expectations of further Federal Reserve rate cuts have combined to push both metals sharply higher through the week.
Buying Tips for Today
With both metals at fresh highs after a strong weekly rally, buyers in no rush may prefer to wait and watch Monday's MCX opening for signs of whether the momentum holds or eases. Always check purity certification and making charges carefully before any jewellery purchase.
