Gold rates and silver rates in India opened strong on March 25, 2026, as international bullion prices witnessed robust upside. MCX gold prices gained by nearly 4% and traded above Rs 1.44 lakh per 10 grams. MCX silver climbed nearly 6% to trade above Rs 2.36 lakh per 1Kg.
Spot gold price hit $4,600 per ounce and rose by at least 2% in the early hours of Tuesday, while the spot silver price zoomed by 4% to trade near $74 per ounce.
The precious metals globally gained after reports indicated that the US is pursuing talks with Iran, which ignites hope that the prolonged war in the Middle East could end soon.
Israeli media indicated that Washington was seeking a one-month ceasefire to enable negotiations, while the New York Times reported that the US had sent Iran a 15-point proposal to resolve the conflict. This raised optimism even after President Donald Trump ordered the deployment of about 2,000 troops to the region, as the administration weighed options to ease Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz, as per Trading Economics data.
The bullion has crashed by approximately 25% from their March peak due to a stubborn surge in energy prices driven by the US-Israel war with Iran, which further sparked fears of inflationary and liquidity pressure in the global economy.
At the same time, the case for a rate hike cycle from central banks across major economies, especially from the US Federal Reserve, in 2026 strengthened. Recently, Federal Reserve Governor Michael Barr stated that the central bank will need to keep rates elevated for some time to curb inflation.

Gold Rates Today Live: MCX Gold Prices Rally 4%
MCX gold prices for April 2026 and June 2026 expiry, opened strong on Wednesday. MCX gold price with April expiry, surged by Rs 5,333 or 3.84% to trade at Rs 1,444,245 per 10 grams after hitting an intraday high of Rs 1,44,434 per 10 grams.

Gold remained highly volatile, with prices recovering from a weak opening near ₹136500 to around ₹140000, largely driven by short covering and easing geopolitical risk sentiment. The rebound comes after reports that US President Donald Trump has advised halting further military action against Iran, raising hopes of possible de-escalation. However, the upside remains capped as the broader macro environment is still not supportive. Despite temporary relief, markets continue to factor in inflation risks from elevated crude prices and uncertainty around interest rate trajectory, which keeps gold sentiment fragile: Jateen Trivedi, VP Research Analyst - Commodity and Currency, LKP Securities.

Commodity Market Live Updates: How Crude Oil Price Surge Impacts India?
"Commodity markets corrected sharply last week, with both oil and gold retreating from recent highs. Brent crude, which had touched levels near USD 101/bbl, fell more than 10% to around USD 91/bbl, easing immediate concerns over India’s oil import bill, current account deficit, and rupee pressures. International gold prices also dropped over 10%, marking the steepest weekly fall in decades, though they remain more than 40% higher year on year. For India, every USD 10/bbl swing in crude typically shifts the CAD by 0.3–0.5 percentage points of GDP and raises CPI inflation by 20–30 bps, depending on pass through. The recent moderation in both commodities offers temporary relief, trimming the worst case downside for the rupee after it briefly slipped past 93 per US dollar. However, with a wide trade gap and elevated gold imports, any renewed spike in crude or capital outflows could quickly reignite depreciation pressures," said Rajeev Sharan, Head of Research, Brickwork Ratings.
