Gold Rates & Silver Rates Today (23/07/2026) LIVE: MCX Gold Down Rs 1,000 & Silver Price Falls Rs 1,500

Gold rates and silver rates in India dropped sharply on Thursday, July 23, as market sentiments turned bearish due to rising crude oil prices amidst an intensifying situation between USA and Iran. Brent Crude and US WTI surged by 2-3% in the early hours and traded around $97 per barrel and $87 per barrel. The precious metals fell despite US Dollar sliding below 101, as traders weighed renewed inflationary pressures from surging energy prices.

At the time of writing, MCX gold price dropped below Rs 1,45,500 per 10 grams, and MCX silver plunged below Rs 2,25,900 per 1Kg.

Also, spot gold is marginally down to trade around $4,125 per ounce and spot silver trades flat to near $60 per ounce. The US dollar edged lower and traded around 100.97.

While markets widely expect the Fed to hold rates steady at next week's meeting, uncertainty has increased over the path of future policy amid unclear guidance from new Chair Kevin Warsh. Meanwhile, safe-haven demand helped limit further dollar losses as Middle East tensions remained in focus. President Donald Trump said the US would strike Iranian infrastructure in response to any attacks on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, while Tehran vowed retaliation against regional energy and infrastructure targets. Elsewhere, attacks on Red Sea tankers, the first such incidents since late February, further raised concerns over a broader regional conflict and potential disruptions to global trade flows, as per Trading Economics.
