MCX Gold, Silver Rate Today LIVE: Check today’s rates in Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru before you buy or sell

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Monday that volatility in gold prices stems from global uncertainty, suggesting investors do not have confidence in any particular currency.

Global shares fell on Monday, as a sudden, massive selloff in precious metals forced investors to ditch other assets to cover any losses, right ahead of a week packed with corporate earnings, central bank meetings and major economic data.

Silver was headed for its biggest two-day loss since at least the 1980s, falling another 7% on top of Friday’s 30% plunge. Dealers said pressure on a number of silver futures funds in China added to the rout late last week, which was exacerbated on Monday by the CME raising margins on a number of futures contracts, including silver and gold.

Oil prices also fell more than 4% as President Donald Trump said over the weekend Iran was “seriously talking” with Washington, perhaps lessening the ‍risk of ⁠a U.S. military strike on the country.

After hitting an intraday low of ₹1,37,065 per 10 gm levels, the precious yellow metal witnessed strong buying. This led to a sharp rise in MCX gold rates, which crossed above the ₹1,45,000 level. At 3:15 PM, the MCX gold rate for April futures was quoted at ₹1,47,500 per 10 gm.

In Chandigarh, 24-carat gold is priced at ₹15,168 per gram, 22-carat gold at ₹13,905 per gram and 18-carat gold at ₹11,380 per gram, Good Returns said.

As of today in India, the price of 24 karat gold stands at ₹1,47,170 per 10 grams, while 22 karat gold is priced at ₹1,34,900 per 10 grams. Meanwhile, 18 karat gold, also referred to as 999 gold, costs ₹1,10,380 per 10 grams.

The price of silver in India today is ₹3000 per 10 grams and ₹3,00,000 per kilogram.

Gold and silver prices bounced back from the lower levels in the international market. The COMEX gold is back above $4,600 per ounce, whereas the COMEX silver price is near $79 per ounce.

The silver price had more than doubled in six weeks to a record $121.64 an ounce on January 29, in an unprecedented rally fuelled by investor appetite for non-dollar assets and retail traders’ enthusiasm for juicy returns, amid a global shortage of physical metal relative to demand.

“There’s been a massive retail frenzy getting into these markets; we’ve had record turnover in options markets related to silver products,” Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank, said. Hansen added that anyone selling options that give the holder the right to buy silver would have had to own a long position in the silver themselves, in some form.

“Once the market suddenly flips around you, you’re left with a massive need to get out of it in a hurry because the reason for holding (that position) has disappeared,” he said.

Spot gold, which had also hit a record $5,594.82 an ounce last week, was down 5%. A lot of the pressure has come from the Chinese commodities market, where trading in silver futures had to be suspended due to extreme volatility.

The knock-on effect on Asian equities led MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan to drop nearly 3%, while Japan’s Nikkei fell 1.3% ahead of Sunday’s lower house election.

Nerves in the broader stock market, as evidenced by another spike in the VIX volatility index, were already running high ahead of earnings this week from the likes of Alphabet, Amazon and AMD, as investors wait to see if the billions pouring into artificial intelligence will start to yield returns.

With global geopolitical tensions escalating, trade war threats resurfacing, uncertainty over the future path of interest rates, and signs of a shifting world order, investors have been gravitating towards assets perceived as stable amid growing volatility, according to a report by Conversation UK.

The dip in gold and silver prices on Friday was triggered by financial markets reacting to early reports of former US president Donald Trump nominating Kevin Warsh as chair of the US Federal Reserve, an institution central to global financial stability.

At the same time, central banks across the world have been buying gold at an accelerated pace, reinforcing its status as a store of value during periods of uncertainty.

Market movements, however, have not been driven by institutions alone.

Retail investors, individuals trading in smaller quantities, have also played a significant role globally, the report added.
