Gold and Silver Prices Rise on MCX Amid Rupee Weakness and Geopolitical Tensions
Gold and silver prices rose sharply on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) amid increased buying ahead of the festive season, a weaker rupee, and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Gold futures climbed to around Rs 1.55 lakh per 10 grams, while silver futures reached approximately Rs 2.39 lakh per kilogram. Market participants cited expectations of a less aggressive US Federal Reserve, upcoming US inflation data, and safe-haven demand due to US-Iran tensions as key factors supporting the rally. Crude oil prices near $88 per barrel and a softer dollar also influenced precious metal prices.
