Gold and Silver Price Breakdown

9 percent purity increased by 400 rupees, reaching 1,48,500 rupees per 10 grams on Friday. This follows the previous closing price of 1,48,100 rupees per 10 grams recorded on Thursday. The silver market stole the spotlight with a bumper jump of 5,000 rupees, pushing the price to 2,37,000 rupees per kilogram. On Thursday, silver had closed at 2,32,000 rupees per kilogram. This sharp recovery in silver prices comes after a continuous three-day downward trend that was observed on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday earlier this week.

Factors Driving the Price Hike

Market experts and traders have attributed this recovery to the weakening of the US Dollar Index, which has been on a downward trajectory for three consecutive sessions. A weaker dollar typically makes precious metals more attractive to investors, thereby boosting demand. Also, after gold prices hit a one-week low earlier this week, investors seized the opportunity to buy at lower levels, further supporting the price hike. Saumil Gandhi, Senior Analyst (Commodities) at HDFC Securities, noted that gold prices saw a slight increase on Friday as the weak US dollar and low-level buying supported market sentiment.

International Market Trends and Expert Insights

Despite the gains in the domestic market, international markets showed some volatility. 25 dollars per ounce. 54 dollars per ounce. Praveen Singh, Associate Vice President and Fundamental Currencies and Commodities Analyst at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas, mentioned that spot gold prices remained stable as diplomatic efforts between the US and Iran to reach an agreement appeared to be back on track. Investors and market participants are now closely monitoring the upcoming US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data scheduled for next week, as it's expected to provide crucial signals regarding the Federal Reserve's future stance on interest rates.
