Gold and silver extend their fourth straight session of gains as Middle East tensions revive safe-haven buying, overpowering pressure from a stronger US dollar and higher Treasury yields. The rally lifts MCX gold near ₹1.45 lakh per 10 grams and silver above ₹2.26 lakh per kg, while investors watch the Fed’s July 29 decision, oil prices, and geopolitical developments.
Gold and silver prices slipped in India as easing geopolitical tensions and falling oil prices weakened demand for safe-haven assets. Meanwhile, SK Hynix rallied over 11% after unveiling plans for a blockbuster Nasdaq listing that could raise nearly $29.6 billion.
Gold and silver prices have witnessed a dramatic reversal after a historic rally, with gold falling nearly 24% from its peak and silver suffering its steepest quarterly decline since 2022. A tech-stock selloff, hawkish US Federal Reserve outlook, strengthening dollar, and easing geopolitical tensions have weighed heavily on bullion markets, pushing MCX gold and silver sharply lower. Investors are now closely watching upcoming US inflation data for clues on the future direction of precious metals.
Gold and silver prices rallied sharply even as markets anticipated a US-Iran peace agreement that should have weakened safe-haven demand. Instead, lower oil prices, softer Treasury yields, a weaker dollar, rising ETF and central bank demand, and expectations of a more dovish Federal Reserve fueled a powerful rebound in precious metals. Here's why gold and silver are defying conventional market logic and what investors should watch next.
Spot gold was up 0.1% at $2,795.92 an ounce, up almost 1% for the week. Prices reached an all-time high of $2,799.71 earlier in the session.
Spot gold was barely changed at $2,671.79 per ounce. At $2,774.50, U.S. gold futures increased by 0.2%.
Global financial markets turned volatile as surging oil prices, Middle East tensions, rising bond yields, and renewed inflation concerns weighed on investor sentiment. Asian equities declined, technology stocks faced pressure, and central banks faced fresh policy challenges.
Indian markets ended a turbulent week on a weak note, with Nifty falling 2.33% and Sensex declining 2.70% as Middle East tensions, rising crude oil prices, rupee weakness, FII outflows, and global uncertainty weighed on investor sentiment.
Sensex and Nifty extended losses for the fifth consecutive session as rising crude oil prices, US-Iran tensions, weak Wall Street cues, and higher bond yields weighed on investor sentiment. IT and Media stocks outperformed, while Auto stocks led the decline.
Global markets witnessed sharp volatility as escalating Middle East tensions pushed Brent crude above $100 per barrel and sent US markets down over 2%. Rising bond yields, inflation concerns, FII selling, and crude oil risks are key factors Indian investors need to monitor.
