Gold Rates & Silver Rates Today (25-08-2026) LIVE: MCX Gold Falls Below Rs 1.63 Lakh, Silver Drops Rs 2,000

Gold rates and silver rates in India are broadly in red on August 25, 2026 with MCX gold price falling below Rs 1.63 lakh mark and MCX silver price struggling around Rs 2.42 lakh mark. This is due to profit booking in the global bullion market.

Spot gold and spot silver turned bearish with up to 1.5% decline. Spot gold is marginally down, however, holds above $4,630 per ounce and spot silver tumbled 1.40% to trade below $68 per ounce.

Crude oil prices also declined sharply. US WTI crude dropped 3% to trade below $83 per barrel and Brent crude crashed 3% to trade below $90 per barrel.

The US Treasury Department announced an expansion of its buyback program for long-dated government debt last week in an effort to contain rising borrowing costs, with Secretary Scott Bessent saying he is prepared to increase the buybacks further while also flagging an upcoming longer-term fiscal plan. However, markets speculated that the measures may offer only a temporary solution while renewing concerns over the risks of a US debt crisis, persistent inflation, and dollar weakness. Gold-backed exchange-traded funds have also recorded increased inflows in recent weeks, signaling broader market participation and strengthening investment demand, as per Trading Economics.

Gold and silver also faced selling pressure as the US dollar regained some upside momentum and is trading near 99 mark against a basket of currencies.
