Gold and Silver Prices Rise Amid US-Iran Tensions and Easing Oil Prices
Gold and silver prices in India rose on July 21, 2026, driven by global bullion gains amid ongoing US-Iran tensions and easing crude oil prices. Gold futures on MCX increased by around 0.6-1.0 percent, with 24K gold trading near Rs 14,422 per gram in major cities. Silver prices also advanced, supported by safe-haven demand and renewed diplomatic efforts between the US and Iran. Despite geopolitical risks, market caution persists due to inflation concerns and potential interest rate impacts from the US Federal Reserve.
