Gold and Silver Prices Show Mixed Trends Amid US-Iran Talks and Market Fluctuations
Gold and silver prices in India showed mixed trends on August 3 and 4, 2026. Gold futures on MCX rose modestly amid easing US dollar and crude oil prices, influenced by renewed US-Iran peace talks, with 22K gold jewellery prices steady across major cities. However, subdued domestic demand and international bullion weakness led to some price declines on August 3. Silver prices generally increased, reflecting market optimism. Overall, precious metal rates fluctuated due to geopolitical developments and market sentiment.
