MCX Gold, silver rate today highlights: Gold rose on Monday in global markets as geopolitical tensions spiked amid the US-Israel strikes on Iran.
MCX Gold, silver rate today highlights: Gold prices climbed on Monday after the United States and Israel carried out major strikes on Iran, killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, a development that sharply escalated geopolitical tensions and added to global economic uncertainty. Spot gold rose 1% to $5,329.39 an ounce by 0201 GMT, after touching its highest level in over four weeks. Prices had gained as much as 2% earlier in the session. U.S. gold futures advanced 1.8% to $5,342.80 an ounce, news agency Reuters reported. Spot silver slipped 1.2% to $92.72 an ounce, after posting a monthly gain in February.
How has gold performed lately?
Gold, widely regarded as a safe-haven asset, has already hit multiple record highs this year amid persistent political and economic uncertainty. The current rally extends a 64% surge in 2025, fuelled by strong central bank purchases, heavy inflows into exchange-traded funds and expectations that U.S. monetary policy may ease.
What do analysts forecast?
Last week, J.P. Morgan and Bank of America reiterated forecasts that gold could rise toward the $6,000 mark. J.P. Morgan said it expects sufficient demand from central banks and investors to push prices to around $6,300 an ounce by the end of 2026, as per Reuters.
Gold is perhaps the finest barometer of global uncertainty, and the mercury is rising, said independent analyst Ross Norman, adding that prices could be repriced to fresh record levels as geopolitical risks intensify.

Silver demand and pricing in India
Beyond industrial use, silver is widely used in jewellery. India is the world’s largest consumer and a major importer of silver, and domestic demand plays a key role in supporting global prices. Along with import duties and taxes, international benchmarks strongly influence local silver rates. Like gold, silver is also viewed as an investment option.
Gold demand and pricing in India
India is the world’s second-largest consumer of gold after China. Most of its demand is met through imports, along with recycled domestic bullion. As a result, global dollar-denominated prices, import duties and taxes significantly influence local rates. While gold is often seen as a hedge against inflation, bond yields and currency movements also affect prices.
Why invest in gold?
Gold is widely regarded as a safe and reliable investment during periods of economic and geopolitical uncertainty. It offers strong liquidity, acts as a hedge against inflation and helps stabilise portfolios over the long term.
Why invest in silver?
Silver remains attractive due to its dual role as a precious and industrial metal. Strong demand from India’s jewellery sector, combined with industrial usage and supply constraints, supports its long-term outlook, while its lower price makes it more accessible than gold for many investors.

Gold, silver rates today LIVE updates: Gold jumps more than 2% as US-Israel strikes on Iran spark safe-haven demand
Gold, silver rates today LIVE updates: Gold prices rose more than 2% on Monday, as U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei over the weekend stoked fears of a wider conflict and added to global economic uncertainty, triggering a rush to safe havens.
Spot gold gained 2.3% to $5,395.99 an ounce as of 0914 GMT, after hitting a more than four-week high earlier in the session. The metal hit a record high of $5,594.82 on January 29.
US gold futures rose 3.1% to $5,411.40 per ounce.
“What we’re seeing is an increase in safe-haven assets, which is reflected in the gains in gold and also reflected in the losses of risk related assets, such as stocks,” said ActivTrades analyst Ricardo Evangelista.
Global shares slid on the day, as the military conflict in the Middle East looked set to last for weeks, threatening to upend a global economic recovery and perhaps reignite inflation. (Reuters)
