Gold and silver prices across Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad observed a sharp crash on Saturday, for the third consecutive time this week.
The retail gold rates are impacted by the trend in the domestic & global bullion market, which is struggling currently.
At Friday’s Close, gold and silver futures recorded a decline on the multi-commodity exchange. Even the Global spot gold prices slipped by 0.5% on Friday and are heading toward a second straight weekly decline.
The drop in gold & Silver rate is because of the rise in the US dollar and rising inflation concerns linked to the ongoing Iran conflict. The geopolitical tensions have reduced expectations of near-term interest rate cuts, putting additional pressure on precious metal prices.

Gold Price Movement Ahead: Expert’s Take
“Gold and silver are likely to remain supported in the near term as geopolitical tensions, central-bank buying, and fiscal uncertainties continue to drive safe-haven demand. However, a stronger U.S. dollar and elevated bond yields may cap sharp upside moves. Gold is expected to trade with a positive bias, while silver could outperform due to its dual role as both a precious and industrial metal. Short-term volatility may persist, but dips are likely to attract strategic buying.” said Prithviraj Kothari, Managing Director at RiddiSiddhi Bullions Ltd., President of India Bullion and Jewellers Association Ltd. and Chairman at Jain International Trade Organisation.
