Gold prices staged a recovery after recent declines, buoyed by value buying from investors and favorable global cues. The precious metal, which had faced pressure from a stronger dollar and shifting interest rate expectations, regained ground as traders sought safety amid market volatility. The rebound underscores gold’s enduring appeal as a hedge against economic uncertainty and currency fluctuations.

Gold prices eased slightly in early trade as global investors turned cautious ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s upcoming policy decision.

A stronger dollar and steady bond yields have weighed on sentiment, prompting some investors to book profits.

Gold futures in India reached an all-time high of Rs 1.09 lakh per 10 grams, reflecting heightened investor interest amid global economic uncertainties and rising inflationary concerns.

Analysts suggest that sustained inflows into gold are underpinned by its role as a hedge against market volatility and currency depreciation.

Gold prices in India surged to unprecedented levels as October futures on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) touched Rs. 1.07 lakh per 10 grams, reflecting strong investor demand amid global economic uncertainty and domestic inflationary pressures.

Silver prices soared to unprecedented levels, with futures trading reaching Rs 1,16,729 per kilogram, marking a record high in the commodity market. The surge comes amid persistent global economic uncertainties, rising inflationary pressures, and increased demand for precious metals as safe-haven assets. Market analysts attribute the spike to a combination of weakened local currency, geopolitical tensions, and robust investment interest from both institutional and retail investors.

The bullion market opened today with gold and silver prices reflecting a cautious tone amid mixed global economic signals. While investors closely monitored U.S. Federal Reserve policy expectations, fluctuations in the U.S. dollar and bond yields influenced sentiment in the precious metals segment. In India, retail demand showed steady momentum, supported by the upcoming festive season and stable rupee movements. Gold prices traded within a narrow range, reflecting investor hesitancy, while silver witnessed marginal gains on account of industrial demand.

Silver futures retreated in recent trade, with prices on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) slipping by Rs. 183 amid subdued investor activity and muted industrial demand. The decline comes on the back of a stronger U.S. dollar, firm Treasury yields, and cautious buying in the domestic market. Analysts note that silver, often influenced by both its status as a precious metal and its industrial applications, is facing pressure from slowing global growth signals and fluctuating currency trends.

Gold futures slipped in recent trading as muted retail and institutional demand exerted downward pressure on prices.

Gold prices have continued to edge higher, supported by growing investor anxiety over potential trade disruptions and inflationary pressures.
