Gold, Silver Rates Today LIVE: Gold and silver prices on the Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX) traded lower on Monday, following weakness in global bullion prices, as the dollar firmed. Investors also opted for profit booking after a decent rise in the precious metal prices last week.

MCX gold rate for April futures contracts opened 0.57% lower at 1,54,999 per 10 grams as against its previous close of 1,55,895 level. MCX silver price for March contracts opened lower by 5,871, or 2.4% at 2,38,489 per kg, as against its previous close of 2,44,360 level.

Why are gold, silver prices falling?

Gold and silver prices traded lower in the international market on Monday as the US dollar firmed and investors opted for profit booking after strong gains last week.

Spot gold price fell 0.4% to $5,020.10 per ounce, after gaining 2.5% in the previous session. US gold futures for April delivery lost 0.1% to $5,039.50 per ounce. Spot silver price declined 0.6% at $76.92 per ounce, after a 3% rise on Friday.

A cooler-than-expected US inflation data lifted expectations for interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. Market participants currently anticipate a total of 75 basis points in rate cuts this year, with the first expected in July, according to data compiled by LSEG. Non-yielding bullion tends to do well in low-interest-rate environments.

The US dollar index rose, making greenback-priced bullion more expensive for holders of other currencies. The dollar index, which measures the US currency against six major peers, was steady at 96.959 after dropping 0.8% last week.

In other commodities, spot platinum price shed 0.4% to $2,054.35 per ounce, while palladium prices rose 0.4% to $1,692.2.

Gold, Silver Rates Today LIVE: What's next for COMEX gold, silver investors?

Kaynat Chainwala, AVP of Commodity Research at Kotak Securities, said that the global commodity market investors are now focusing on the upcoming key economic data releases, as the COMEX gold and silver rates recover from earlier lows.

“Currently, gold and silver have recovered from earlier lows and are trading near $5,025/oz and $77/oz respectively. Traders are now focusing on upcoming key data releases, particularly the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge, the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index, scheduled for February 20, as a softer reading could further strengthen expectations of a potential rate cut in June,” said the expert.

The expert also said that the market investors will also monitor the FOMC meeting minutes, U.S. advance GDP data for December, and flash PMI readings from major global economies for further cues.

“COMEX Gold and Silver saw mild profit booking and slipped to $4,981/oz and $74.5/oz earlier today as traders locked in gains from Friday's rally, fueled by softer U.S. inflation and retail sales data alongside a resilient labour market, which strengthened bets on a more accommodative Fed path,” said Chainwala.

Gold, Silver Rates Today LIVE: What should investors do now?

Ross Maxwell, Global Strategy Operations Lead, VT Markets, suggested that investors who are holding large positions can look for partial profit-taking on rallies while keeping a strategic core position on silver in the commodity market.

“Investors who already hold large positions can look for partial profit-taking on rallies while keeping a strategic core position, as silvers historically has short-term sharp spikes followed by extended consolidations,” said Maxwell.

“For current investors, holding a core allocation for long-term exposure makes sense, but holding in the expectation of another parabolic move this year may lead to over-exposure,” said the market expert.

“Accumulation on pullbacks, diversification of holdings across bullion, low-cost funds, and strong mining equities, whilst retaining some liquidity for opportunistic additions during macro shocks that create short-term volatility, can improve risk exposure and reward opportunities,” said Maxwell.

Gold, Silver Rates Today LIVE: What factors can fuel or limit silver prices' upside?

Commodity market expert predicts that the industrial demand for solar, electronics, and electrification will play a major role in the upside of silver prices. However, this demand is currently steady, and the current inventory is capping commodity prices.

“Industrial demand from solar, electronics, and electrification will also play a key element, but this is currently steady rather than explosive, and current inventories and recycling flows can cap price spikes,” said Ross Maxwell, Global Strategy Operations Lead, VT Markets.

The expert also said that key factors that can limit upside include persistent higher-for-longer interest rates, which raise the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets, resilient equity markets that draw capital away from safe havens, and any slowdown in global manufacturing that reduces industrial demand.

Gold, Silver Rates Today LIVE: Can silver hit a new record high in 2026?

Ross Maxwell, Global Strategy Operations Lead, VT Markets, suggests that the silver prices can hit a new record high in 2026, but it is unlikely unless there are strong triggers creating the right environment for the commodity rally.

The commodity market expert said that a combination of falling real interest rates, a weaker USD, and a shift toward monetary easing across central banks has the potential to still fuel the silver prices upwards from current levels.

“After the recent correction in silver prices, reaching new record highs this year is certainly possible, but I think unlikely unless there is a strong convergence of factors to create the right environment. Silver tends to lag gold in early stages of precious-metal rallies and then outperform in later, more speculative phases which is something we have already seen. A combination of falling real interest rates, a weaker USD, and a clear shift toward monetary easing by major central banks could still see upward movement on silver prices,” said Ross Maxwell.

Gold, Silver Rates Today LIVE: Gold and silver prices are entering a 3-5 year bull phase, says Emkay Wealth

Gold, Silver Rates Today LIVE: Gold and silver prices are entering a prolonged three- to five-year bull cycle, supported by favourable macroeconomic conditions, structural demand trends, and shifting investor preferences, according to Emkay Wealth Management’s latest report. “Analysis of historical price behaviour over the past three decades suggests that such breakout phases typically persist for three to five years. Investors who allocated to gold over the past 12 to 18 months have already benefited from strong gains, which have been further enhanced for Indian investors by the depreciation of the rupee against the US dollar,” the report said.

Gold, Silver Rates Today LIVE: COMEX silver stocks hovering around 90–95 million ounces

Gold, Silver Rates Today LIVE: Volatility in precious metals often reflects who is setting the marginal price. With the Shanghai Futures Exchange closed for holidays, price discovery temporarily shifts toward the COMEX, where paper positioning dominates short-term flows. That matters because physical buffers are already thin. SHFE silver inventories have collapsed from over 3,000 tonnes at the 2021 peak to roughly 350 tonnes recently — the lowest levels in nearly a decade. On the US side, COMEX registered (deliverable) silver stocks are hovering around 90–95 million ounces, a modest float relative to total open interest. In such a setup, thin liquidity combined with aggressive futures positioning can amplify downside volatility when China is shut, said Harshal Dasani, Business Head at INVasset PMS.

Gold, Silver Rates Today LIVE: Silver’s tighter vault dynamics suggest volatility may expand: Harshal Dasani

Gold, Silver Rates Today LIVE: With Shanghai Futures Exchange vaults depleted and COMEX registered stocks not excessive, physical availability of silver remains constrained. This means that while paper selling may attempt to curb prices during Shanghai closures, every sharp dip is likely to be bought back aggressively. Gold, backed by deeper above-ground reserves, may remain relatively steadier, but silver’s tighter vault dynamics suggest volatility may expand briefly on the downside, yet remain structurally supported rather than trend-breaking, said Harshal Dasani, Business Head at INVasset PMS.

Gold, Silver Rates Today LIVE: Use dips in silver price to accumulate: Ponmudi R

Gold, Silver Rates Today LIVE: For MCX silver price, Ponmudi R said that while the long-term bullish structure remains intact, the steep pullback has pushed prices below major moving averages, indicating short-term bearish pressure and an ongoing corrective phase.

Strong buying interest is evident in the 2,25,000 – 2,60,000 support band, aligned with prior swing lows and longer-term structural support. A sustained hold above this base, followed by a decisive recovery, could revive upward momentum toward 3,00,000 – 3,25,000. Dips toward support continue to offer accumulation opportunities for positional traders, though a decisive break below these levels could accelerate downside pressure and extend the correction, said Ponmudi R.
