Summary:
Gold prices rose ₹2,700 to ₹1.67 lakh per 10 grams, extending gains for a fourth session. Silver fell ₹3,500 per kg to ₹2.5 lakh after recent gains. Investors remain focused on interest rates, global uncertainty and economic data.
Gold prices extended their winning streak for the fourth consecutive session, gaining ₹2,700 per 10 grams in the domestic market as investors continued to favour the precious metal amid global uncertainties and expectations around monetary policy. Gold of 99.9% purity increased to ₹1,67,000 per 10 grams in New Delhi, compared with ₹1,64,300 per 10 grams in the previous session.
The rally in gold comes as investors continue to seek safety in bullion assets. Globally, precious metals have remained supported by factors such as a weaker US dollar, changing interest rate expectations and demand for safe haven assets. Recent market movements have also reflected investor focus on upcoming economic data and central bank policy signals.
How Gold Demand is Changing: Recycling, Finance, ETFs
Gold Extends Four Session Rally
Gold prices have gained momentum after a period of strong buying interest. The latest ₹2,700 per 10 grams rise marked the fourth consecutive session of gains for the yellow metal.
Investors have been closely tracking global economic developments, particularly expectations around interest rates and inflation. A softer dollar generally makes gold more attractive for investors holding other currencies, while expectations of lower interest rates can support demand for non yielding assets like gold.
The continued rise in gold prices has also been supported by strong investment demand as market participants look for portfolio protection amid uncertainty across global markets.
Silver Takes a Pause After Recent Gains
While gold continued its upward movement, silver prices witnessed profit booking after a strong rally. Silver prices declined by ₹3,500 per kg to ₹2.5 lakh per kg, compared with the previous close of ₹2.53 lakh per kg.
The decline came after silver had recorded gains in recent sessions, prompting traders to book profits at higher levels. Silver has also faced pressure due to a combination of factors, including volatility in industrial demand expectations and movements in global commodity markets.
Unlike gold, silver has a significant industrial usage component, with demand linked to sectors such as electronics, renewable energy and manufacturing. Therefore, its price movement often depends on both investment demand and industrial growth outlook.

Gold and Silver Continue to Track Global Market Signals
Precious metal prices remain influenced by multiple factors, including US economic data, currency movements, interest rate expectations and geopolitical developments. Gold has traditionally benefited during periods of uncertainty as investors shift towards assets perceived as stores of value.
Silver, meanwhile, continues to balance between investment demand and industrial consumption trends. The metal’s long term outlook remains closely linked with manufacturing activity and clean energy investments.
Outlook
Gold’s continued rise highlights strong investor preference for safe haven assets, while silver’s decline reflects short term profit booking after recent gains. Going ahead, bullion markets are expected to remain sensitive to global interest rate expectations, currency movements and economic data releases.
