Gold rates and silver rates in India surged higher on September 18, 2026. MCX gold is trading near Rs 1.55 lakh per 10 grams, while MCX silver price rose to near Rs 2.41 lakh per 1Kg level. This is due to global bullion demand, which improved after a fall in crude oil prices. In the early hours of Friday, spot gold surged marginally to trade above $4,346 per ounce, and spot silver gained by nearly 1% to trade near $66 per ounce.

On the other hand, crude oil prices traded lower by 1% but still remained above $100 mark. ThE US WTI crude futures dropped 1% to trade around $101 per barrel and Brent crude declined by 1% to trade around $104 per barrel. Natural gas and gasoline slipped by 1-2%.

Meanwhile, the US 10-year treasury yield slipped to $4.95% on Thursday, pulling away from the 5.04% which was at its highest level since 2007.

The precious metals have gained momentum despite US Federal Reserve hiking interest rates by 25 basis points for the first time in 3 years, to 3.75% and 4% owing to rising inflation and the energy crisis.

Investors continued to assess the outlook for Federal Reserve monetary policy following its first rate hike in three years. The US central bank signalled that additional tightening could be needed to contain inflationary pressures, with markets now pricing in roughly a 53% probability of a move in October, as per Trading Economics.

Live Silver Rates Today: Will MCX Silver Hit Rs 2.44 Lakh Mark?

MCX Silver opened on a steady note, holding well above its previous close compared to the weakness seen in gold today. It's testing the ₹239,000-240,000 resistance zone, up 0.45%, extending its recovery off the previous session's lows near ₹230,000. Immediate resistance is at ₹239,000-240,000, and a break above targets next resistance at ₹243,000-244,000. A decisive break below ₹236,000 could extend the weakness, with next support at ₹234,000-233,000. RSI at 53, above the neutral 50, confirms genuine bullish momentum building. Bias stays cautious above ₹236,000, with a hold above ₹240,000 needed to extend the recovery; a slip below ₹234,000 would stall the bounce: Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money.
