Gold rates in India climbed sharply on March 1, after a new escalation in geopolitics in Middle East. The US-Israel duo has launched a series of airstrikes on Iran and its leaders. The latest news is that Iranian supreme leader Ali Hosseini Khamenei was killed. Khamenei has ruled Iran from 1989 to 2026. On Sunday, 24 carat, 22 carat and 18 carat gold prices surged by Rs 328 to as high as Rs 43,700 across grams. On the other hand, silver prices in India were flat and stood at around Rs 2.95 lakh per 1Kg. The price of 10 grams gold of 24 carat crossed Rs 1.73 lakh mark.
Last week, spot gold price surged by 1% to end around $5,220 on Friday, which is near its 2-months high. Notably, MCX gold price closed around Rs 1,61,971 per 10 grams and MCX silver price stood at Rs 2,74,389 per 1kg. Both were down on Friday.
Investors weight aggressive US trade policy against sticky inflation data. Bullion remains supported by safe-haven demand after the administration invoked Section 122 to implement 10% global tariffs, with Trade Representative Jamieson Greer signaling a potential hike to 15% following the recent Supreme Court ruling. This protectionist shift, coupled with stalled US-Iran nuclear talks in Geneva and reports of a US Embassy departure advisory in Israel, has supercharged gold's appeal as a systemic hedge, as per Trading Economics.

Gold Rates Today Live: MCX Gold Price Weekly Outlook
MCX Gold has extended its upward trajectory after resolving the prior consolidation range, now trading firmly above the ₹1,60,000 structural pivot. The earlier falling channel resistance has been decisively breached, converting prior supply into short-term support. Price is currently stabilizing near ₹1,62,000 after registering fresh swing highs.The ₹1,59,500–₹1,60,000 zone now acts as immediate demand following breakout acceptance. Momentum structure reflects higher highs and higher lows on the hourly framework, suggesting trend continuation rather than exhaustion. Sustained holding above ₹1,60,000 opens upside potential toward ₹1,63,500–₹1,65,000. Structural invalidation emerges only on a decisive breakdown below ₹1,58,000, which would disrupt the current higher-low sequence: Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money.

Silver Rates Today Live: MCX Silver Price Outlook For Next Week
MCX Silver has delivered a strong impulsive breakout, clearing the prior consolidation ceiling and accelerating toward the ₹2,80,000–₹2,85,000 band. The move reflects momentum-driven participation rather than slow accumulation, supported by expanding price range.The ₹2,72,000–₹2,75,000 zone now transitions into a demand base after breakout confirmation. Price action indicates strength with shallow pullbacks, suggesting accumulation on dips. Sustained trade above ₹2,85,000 may trigger continuation toward ₹2,90,000–₹2,95,000. Failure to hold ₹2,72,000 would introduce corrective rotation, but structural weakness becomes relevant only below ₹2,65,000: Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money.
