Gold Rates & Silver Rates Today (12-05-2026) Live Updates: MCX Gold Above Rs 1.54 Lakh, Silver Price Upbeat

Gold rates and silver rates in India traded higher on May 12 despite uncertainties in the Middle East heighten. MCX gold price is above Rs 1.54 lakh mark, but MCX silver outperformed with nearly 1.2% surge and trading around Rs 2.82 lakh. The prolonged shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz has driven oil prices higher, with US WTI Crude trading near the 100 mark and Brent Crude soaring above the 105 mark.

On the other hand, spot gold is trading mildly lower to near $4,730 per ounce, while spot silver is marginally up to above 86 per ounce.

Bullion also came under pressure from a rebounding dollar. President Donald Trump said the US-Iran ceasefire was on "massive life support" after rejecting Tehran's latest peace proposal, intensifying fears that the critical shipping route could remain effectively blocked for a prolonged period. Reports further suggested that President Trump is expected to meet with his national security team to consider a potential restart of military operations, while also revisiting plans to escort commercial ships through Hormuz. At the same time, investors awaited the latest US consumer inflation data for clues on how the Iran conflict has affected price pressures, as per Trading Economics.
