Silver prices in India remained steady on Tuesday even as gold slipped, with investors reacting cautiously to mixed global cues and fresh economic data from the United States.
The contrasting movement in the two key precious metals reflects a market navigating uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, and shifting expectations around the US Federal Reserve’s next policy steps.
Gold futures on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) fell marginally, dipping by Rs 63 or 11.8 per cent to Rs 1,36,000 per 10 grams for December delivery. The session saw noticeable volatility, with prices recovering from early lows but failing to sustain upward momentum.
Silver, on the other hand, displayed more strength. March 2026 silver futures rose by Rs 523, or 0.29 per cent, to Rs 1,82,769 per kilogram in a turnover of 13,807 lots.
Rahul Kalantri, Vice-President of Commodities at Mehta Equities Ltd, said the yellow metal saw sharp intraday swings and struggled to hold on to gains amid global uncertainty.
Global Cues: Soft US Data and Strong Silver Rally
In the international market, On the Comex, gold futures for February delivery were trading flat at USD 4,244.2 per ounce. Meanwhile, silver futures for March 2026 contract fell 0.54 per cent, to USD 58.73 per ounce, hovering close to the lifetime high of $59.65 per ounce, marked on December 3.
According to Kalantri, precious metals continued edging toward fresh highs as traders digested new US economic data. The ADP non-farm employment report registered a significant downside surprise, raising speculation that the Federal Reserve may need to adopt a more accommodative approach.
The weaker-than-expected data dragged the US dollar index below the 99 mark, providing additional support to bullion.
“As economic uncertainty deepens, investors continue to lean on gold’s safe-haven strength,” Kalantri noted.
Volatility May Continue
Analysts said bullion prices remain supported by a weak dollar and heightened risk aversion. However, they warned that volatility may persist as traders monitor upcoming economic indicators, central bank commentary, and global developments.
With gold unable to sustain an upward push and silver showing higher momentum, investors are navigating a delicate environment shaped by macroeconomic uncertainty and political tensions.
