Gold and silver prices on 24 April: Gold rate declined on the MCX in the early morning trade on Friday, 24 April. This was due to a rise in the US dollar, driven by elevated crude oil prices and continued volatility amid uncertainty over the US-Iran peace deal.
MCX gold June futures were 0.32% down at ₹1,51,279 per 10 grams, while MCX silver May futures were 0.47% down at ₹2,40,369 per kg around 9:21 am.
International gold prices were under pressure, set for their weekly decline, amid higher crude oil prices and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, which have increased inflationary risks and fanned speculation that interest rates may remain higher for longer.
Silver price in the country also slipped, tracking weakness across precious metals, driven by the same fundamental factors, such as rising bond yields, high oil prices, and a stronger US dollar.
MCX Silver rate fell 1% or over ₹2,300 to ₹2,39,200 per kg, whereas MCX Gold price lost 0.4% or over ₹600 to ₹2,41,513 per 10 grams.
