- Higher US interest rate expectations further pressured metal prices.
Gold Silver Rate Today:Gold and silver prices fell on Thursday, with both metals dropping up to 2 per cent as investors tracked the latest developments in the West Asia conflict.
On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), gold futures for August delivery hit an intraday low of Rs 1,46,444, down 1 per cent or Rs 1,573. By around noon, the yellow metal was trading at Rs 1,47,860, a fall of 0.11 per cent or Rs 157 from its previous close. It had touched an intraday high of Rs 1,48,089 earlier in the session.
Silver saw sharper swings. The July futures contract fell as much as 2.12 per cent to an intraday low of Rs 2,30,493. It later recovered to trade at Rs 2,34,500, still down Rs 1,005 or 0.43 per cent. The metal touched a high of Rs 2,35,402 during the session. Gold and silver had opened at Rs 1,46,518 and Rs 2,31,671, respectively, on the MCX.
The fall was not limited to Indian markets. On the COMEX, international gold was trading at $4,105.30 per ounce, down 0.68 per cent. COMEX silver fell over 1.29 per cent to $63.90.
Commodity analysts said gold steadied near multi-month lows after the US military confirmed it had completed its latest strikes on Iran. This raised hopes that talks between the two sides could resume, reducing the urgency for investors to park money in safe assets like gold.
When investors expect conflict or economic uncertainty, they tend to buy gold as a safe store of value. When tensions ease, that demand drops. That is what analysts say happened on Thursday.
Adding to the pressure, expectations that US interest rates could stay higher for longer also weighed on prices. Gold and silver do not pay interest or dividends. When interest rates are high, investors tend to prefer assets that do. That makes gold and silver less attractive by comparison.
Markets were also watching crude oil closely. Brent crude jumped over 2 per cent to trade near $95 per barrel, while US WTI crude climbed 4 per cent to $93.64 per barrel. Analysts said rising energy prices could stoke inflation, which in turn may influence how the US Federal Reserve decides on interest rates going ahead.
