MCX silver opened at approximately ₹22,960 per kilogram, with intraday trading range estimated between ₹22,800 and ₹23,200 per kilogram.

What Is Driving Gold and Silver Prices Today?

Two primary factors continue to shape bullion prices on March 26. First, the United States-Iran diplomatic situation which had earlier triggered a sharp rally in gold as a safe-haven asset remains unresolved but has moved away from imminent military escalation, reducing the immediate geopolitical risk premium embedded in gold prices. Analysts note that gold’s sharp ₹1 lakh per 10 gram correction in a single session last week reflected this de-escalation, though a full reversal of the geopolitical premium remains unlikely while tensions persist.

Second, the US dollar index held near the 104.0–104.5 range, providing a moderating influence on dollar-denominated gold prices. A stronger rupee-to-dollar exchange rate — currently trading near ₹93.90–₹94.10 per US dollar slightly offsets international gold price movements for domestic Indian buyers, meaning local prices may not move proportionally with every international swing.

Gold and Silver: Week-on-Week Change

Putting today’s prices in context, here is how gold and silver have moved over the past week:

The data confirms that gold fell approximately ₹1,065 per gram (7.3 percent) over the past seven days one of the sharpest weekly declines in recent months before finding relative stability near current levels. Silver has also corrected by approximately ₹12 per gram (5 percent) over the same period.

Expert View: What Comes Next for Gold Prices?

Commodity analysts expect gold to remain range-bound between ₹13,400 and ₹13,800 per gram on the MCX over the coming week, absent a major escalatory trigger from West Asia or a surprise US Federal Reserve policy development. The next key macro event is the US Core PCE Price Index release on March 28 and the Federal Reserve’s April policy meeting in the first week of April both of which may shift rate-cut expectations and, consequently, gold’s dollar-denominated price.

Silver faces a more nuanced outlook: industrial demand from India’s solar energy manufacturing sector which consumed a record volume of silver in 2025 continues to provide fundamental support, but investment demand for silver as a financial asset has weakened as equity markets remain relatively stable. Reports suggest silver prices could test the ₹22,500 per kilogram level on MCX if the dollar strengthens above 105, while a dollar retreat below 103 could propel it back toward ₹24,000 per kilogram.
