Gold Rate Today: Significant Decline in Prices

“MCX gold price has fallen 15% in March so far, while MCX silver rate has dropped 25% so far in this month,” said Jigar Trivedi, highlighting the recent volatility in precious metals.

As of today, the MCX gold rate opened 3% lower at ₹1,40,158 per 10 grams. The price continued to decline, hitting a low of ₹1,33,352, marking a drop of ₹11,140, or 7.70%.

In parallel, the MCX silver price for May futures contracts opened 4% lower at ₹2,17,702 per kg. The silver rate experienced a more dramatic fall, crashing as much as 11.31% to ₹2,01,111 per kg, down ₹25,661.

At 11:15 AM, the MCX gold price was trading lower by ₹10,896, or 7.54%, at ₹1,33,596 per 10 grams, while the MCX silver price was down by ₹24,117, or 10.63%, at ₹2,02,655 per kg.

Spot gold prices also reflected the downturn, falling 2.5% to $4,372.86 per ounce. This follows a significant crash of more than 10% in gold prices last week.

The backdrop for this decline includes escalating tensions from the US-Iran war, which has intensified inflation concerns as crude oil prices remain elevated.

Ajay Kedia noted, “The overall trend for gold prices remains negative, and investors can sell on rise from these levels,” indicating a cautious approach for investors in the current market climate.

As the market continues to react to global events, further fluctuations in gold and silver prices are anticipated. Investors are advised to stay informed about market developments.
