Gold Prices Climb ₹171 To ₹1,12,800 Per 10 Grams In Domestic Futures Market, Silver Declines ₹400

New Delhi: Gold prices climbed by Rs 171 to reach Rs 1,12,800 per 10 grams in the domestic futures market on Friday, despite a largely flat trend in the overseas market. Meanwhile, silver pulled back from its record peak, declining by Rs 400 to Rs 1,36,656 per kilogram.

On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), gold for October delivery rose Rs 171, or 0.15%, to Rs 1,12,800 per 10 grams in a turnover of 2,834 lots. Similarly, the December contract traded higher by Rs 56, or 0.05%, at Rs 1,13,927 per 10 grams in 13,573 lots.

In contrast, silver eased after scaling fresh records in the previous session. The December contract fell Rs 400, or 0.29%, to Rs 1,36,656 per kilogram in 17,462 lots. The white metal had touched a record high of Rs 1,37,530 per kg on Thursday.

The March 2026 contract also slipped Rs 351, or 0.25%, to Rs 1,38,051 per kg in 2,216 lots after hitting an all-time high of Rs 1,38,847 per kg in the previous session.

Globally, gold futures for December delivery rose 0.15% to USD 3,776.90 per ounce, while silver futures were trading 0.21% lower at USD 45.02 per ounce. On Thursday, silver had climbed to hover near a 14-year high of USD 45.50 per ounce.

Commodities market experts said upbeat US macroeconomic data released on Thursday fueled uncertainty over the pace of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, helping the dollar stay near a three-week high. This, in turn, limited gains in gold prices.

They added that the downside for gold may remain cushioned as traders await the release of the US personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index—the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge—for policy cues and near-term direction for bullion prices. The data will confirm whether the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will remain on track for two rate cuts this year.

Experts also noted that renewed concerns over the economic fallout from US President Donald Trump’s fresh tariffs on a wide range of imports, along with rising geopolitical tensions, are likely to keep safe-haven demand intact.

“Persistent geopolitical risks and festive demand in Asia could lend support to gold at lower levels,” an expert said.
