Gold Silver Rate Today: Gold and silver prices traded higher on Thursday, supported by rising crude oil prices, weakness in the US dollar and continued geopolitical uncertainty surrounding the US-Iran negotiations.
On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), gold futures for June 5 delivery climbed 0.49 per cent, or Rs 755, to touch an intraday high of Rs 1,52,887 around 10:49 am. The yellow metal also touched a session low of Rs 1,52,400 earlier in the day.
Silver prices outperformed gold, with MCX July 3 futures surging 1.49 per cent, or Rs 3,790, to Rs 2,57,055 after hitting an intraday high. The white metal had opened the session at Rs 2,54,998, up 0.68 per cent or Rs 1,733, and slipped to an intraday low of Rs 2,54,722.
Commodity market analysts said the near-term outlook for precious metals remains positive, aided by improving investor sentiment and sustained safe-haven demand amid geopolitical risks.
In international markets, bullion prices also remained firm. COMEX gold rose 0.21 per cent to $4,703 per ounce, while silver advanced 1.12 per cent to $78.17 per ounce.
The rally in precious metals has largely been driven by weakness in the dollar index, which remained below the 98 mark. Investors are also closely tracking developments in West Asia, where the US and Iran continue talks aimed at ending the ongoing conflict.
According to reports, the US has asked Iran to halt its nuclear programme and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s Foreign Ministry said Tehran would respond to the proposal, while US President Donald Trump stated that he believes Iran is willing to strike a deal.
Adding to the momentum in bullion markets, crude oil prices also moved higher. Brent crude rose 1.21 per cent to $102.50 per barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) gained 1.47 per cent to trade at $96.48 per barrel.
Earlier this week, silver prices had already witnessed fresh buying interest amid the West Asia crisis. On Tuesday, silver futures for July delivery on the MCX rose 0.09 per cent to Rs 2.44 lakh per kg, supported by fresh positions built by traders.
