Gold and Silver Prices Rise Amid Middle East Tensions and Market Uncertainty
Gold and silver prices in India rose on July 21, 2026, driven by global bullion gains amid ongoing Middle East tensions and fluctuating crude oil prices. Domestic futures on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) showed increases, with 24K gold reaching around Rs 1,42,800 per 10 grams and silver surpassing Rs 2,21,000 per kg. Market experts attributed gains to safe-haven demand amid US-Iran conflicts and easing crude oil prices, while caution remained due to geopolitical risks and expectations of US Federal Reserve rate decisions.
