Gold and silver prices saw a sharp crash on March 23, with MCX gold plunging over ₹8,000 and silver hitting a 6% lower circuit. The fall comes amid rising global tensions, as the escalating US-Iran conflict fuels inflation fears and pushes crude oil prices above $110 per barrel. Higher inflation could delay interest rate cuts, making non-yielding assets like gold and silver less attractive to investors. Global bullion markets have also weakened, with gold hitting multi-month lows.
23 Mar 2026Gold and silver prices witnessed a sharp rally on MCX, with gold April futures jumping over 2% to hit ₹1.60 lakh per 10 grams and silver soaring nearly 6%. The surge comes amid escalating US-Iran tensions, a sharp fall in the dollar index, fresh tariff uncertainty after the US Supreme Court ruling, and concerns over slowing US GDP growth. Analysts expect continued volatility this week, with safe-haven demand driving momentum in bullion markets.
