Silver continued its upward trajectory, supported by strong industrial demand and improving investor sentiment. Analysts note that demand from sectors such as solar energy, electric vehicles, electronics and manufacturing has strengthened silver's fundamentals. The metal's dual role as an industrial commodity and a store of value has helped sustain prices despite fluctuations in broader financial markets.
On the commodities front, gold futures on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) traded in positive territory, while silver futures also remained firm. Internationally, COMEX gold and silver prices witnessed gains as traders monitored upcoming economic data and signals from major central banks regarding future monetary policy decisions.
Experts say domestic bullion prices are influenced by a combination of factors, including global spot prices, import duties, rupee-dollar exchange rates, transportation costs and local taxes. As a result, gold and silver rates vary slightly from one city to another.
Market participants expect bullion prices to remain volatile in the short term as investors react to inflation data, interest-rate expectations and geopolitical developments. However, demand from jewellers, wedding-season purchases and long-term investors continues to provide support to the precious metals market.
Key Market Drivers
• Rebound in global gold prices
• Softer US dollar boosting bullion demand
• Safe-haven buying amid geopolitical uncertainty
• Strong industrial demand supporting silver
• Investor focus on inflation and interest-rate outlook
• Wedding season and jewellery demand in India
Market Outlook
Analysts believe gold could remain supported near the Rs 99,000 mark, while silver may continue to outperform due to strong industrial consumption and supply-demand dynamics. Future price movements will depend on global economic data, central bank decisions and international market sentiment.
