Gold Rates & Silver Rates Today (08/06/2026) Live: MCX Gold Tanks Rs 2,000, Silver Price Crashes Rs 6,500

Gold rates and silver rates in India dropped sharply on June 8, 2026, due to weak global trends. MCX gold plunged by over RS 1,600 to trade below the Rs 1.54 lakh mark and MCX silver crashed harder by RS 5,500 to trade below Rs 243,500 per kg. However, in the global market, the trend is mixed, with the spot gold price extending its losses to hit yet another 2026 low to trade near $4,300 per ounce. But spot silver surged by nearly 0.51% but still traded below the $68 pivotal level.

On the other hand, crude oil prices witnessed a sharp surge over 3-4%. Brent Crude is near $97 per barrel and US WTI Crude Oil futures traded above $93.50 per barrel.

Factors That Are Fueling Trend In Global Gold and Silver Rates Are:

1. Higher Interest Rates: Expectations that U.S. interest rates will stay elevated for longer-fueled by inflation worries from high oil prices-are capping gains for precious metals.

2. Geopolitical Volatility: Despite Donald Trump signaling that Middle East peace talks are nearing final stages, Iran reported no real progress, and Hezbollah rejected a ceasefire proposal, keeping regional tensions high.

3. Energy Supply Risks: Ongoing conflicts and fears of shipping disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz are keeping crude oil prices elevated.

4. Subdued Retail Demand: Physical gold demand has slowed across Asia, with Chinese premiums easing and Indian buyers turning cautious due to volatile global prices.
