Gold & Silver Rates Today (17-06-2026) Live: MCX Gold Falls Below Rs 1.53 Lakh, Silver Erases Rs 2.50 Lac Mark

Gold rates and silver rates in India are cautiously bearish, following the trend of the global market ahead of US Federal Reserve's June policy rates decision on Wednesday. MCX gold price dropped below Rs 1.53 lakh and MCX silver erased Rs 2.50 lakh mark. Both precious metals are trading marginally lower. Spot gold surged by at least 0.5% to trade near $4,350 per ounce, while spot silver gained by 1% to trade above $70 per ounce.

Investors also await the signing of peace agreement between US and Iran that could put an end to the prolonged conflict and reopen Strait of Hormuz. However, tensions in the Middle East persists as Israel refuses to pullback its defense forces from Lebanon and Gaza. Iran has warned that further attacks from Israel on Lebanon could jeopardize the peace agreement; however, Israel firmly states their goals in Lebanon will not end even if US-Iran sign peace deal.

US and Iran are going to sign the much-awaited agreement on June 19 in Switzerland.

Market participants also turned their attention to the Federal Reserve's upcoming policy decision, where officials are widely expected to leave interest rates unchanged. The meeting will be the first chaired by Kevin Warsh, though he is not expected to submit a "dot" to the FOMC's quarterly rate projections. Earlier this week, the Reserve Bank of Australia left its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 4.35%, while the Bank of Japan raised its policy rate by 25 basis points to 1%, as per Trading Economics.
