Gold Prices Rise Slightly Amid Global Tensions; Silver Prices Decline on February 24, 2026

On February 24, 2026, gold prices in India showed a modest rise amid global economic and geopolitical tensions, including renewed US tariff measures and Iran-US relations. The 24K gold price reached around Rs 1,61,780 per 10 grams, with 22K gold also increasing slightly. Silver prices declined, influenced by profit booking, a stronger US dollar, and tariff uncertainties. Market analysts note that while short-term corrections occur, ongoing fiscal risks and geopolitical factors continue to support precious metals demand.
