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%.
Indian stock markets ended sharply higher on July 29, 2026, with the Sensex gaining 888.68 points and the Nifty closing at 24,250.20. The rally was driven by sustained buying in IT stocks, positive FII inflows, lower market volatility, and expectations of an unchanged US Federal Reserve interest rate. Infosys led the IT surge, while broad-based gains across FMCG, Metals, Pharma, and Financials boosted overall market sentiment.
Indian stock markets remained flat on Tuesday, but IT stocks surged as investors shifted focus from global AI hardware concerns toward Indian software companies. TCS, Tech Mahindra and HCLTech led the rally.
Indian benchmark indices staged a strong recovery on July 27, 2026, ending a five-session losing streak. The Nifty and Sensex gained nearly 1% each, supported by easing US-Iran tensions, a sharp decline in crude oil prices, improved global sentiment, and strong buying in IT, Media, Realty, and Auto stocks. Infosys led the IT rally following leadership transition news and positive brokerage sentiment.
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.
