Silver prices also witnessed mixed trading, with bullion markets closely monitoring developments in the international market.
According to market updates, domestic bullion prices largely remained steady across major Indian cities, although rates continued to vary depending on local taxes, transportation costs and jewellers' pricing policies.

Analysts said investors are keeping a close watch on the US Federal Reserve's policy outlook and geopolitical developments, both of which could significantly impact the direction of precious metal prices. A stronger dollar and higher bond yields generally reduce gold's appeal, while uncertainty arising from global conflicts often supports safe-haven demand.
Gold continues to remain a preferred investment and a key purchase for weddings and festive occasions in India. Experts advise buyers to compare rates across jewellers, verify hallmark certification and factor in making charges before making a purchase. Since bullion prices are revised multiple times a day based on international market movements, consumers should always confirm the latest rates with their local jeweller.
Silver, which is widely used in jewellery and industrial applications, also remains sensitive to global economic trends. Investors are expected to closely monitor inflation data, central bank decisions and geopolitical developments for further cues on bullion prices.
