Gold, silver prices today (July 22): Yellow metal nears ₹1.45 lakh, silver tops ₹2.25 lakh; check latest rates here

Gold and silver prices remained largely stable on July 21, as weakness in international bullion markets weighed on domestic rates. Gold prices hit ₹1.42 lakh, whereas silver rates also neared ₹2.20 lakh.

On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), gold futures were up by around 1.08% at ₹1,44,441 per 10 grams, whereas silver futures rose by around 1.01% to ₹2,26,050 per kilogram.

In the retail market, gold continues to be traded mainly in two purities, 24-karat and 22-karat. While 24-karat gold is regarded as the purest form of the precious metal, 22-karat gold is widely preferred for jewellery as it offers greater strength and durability due to the presence of alloyed metals.

Market participants will continue to track global economic data, US interest rate expectations and currency movements for further direction in precious metal prices.
