Domestic gold and silver prices

Bullion traders said domestic gold and silver prices are being influenced by international spot rates, rupee-dollar movements, import costs, and investor sentiment linked to geopolitical developments.

Weatlh expert Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, said: "MCX Gold futures are trading near the ₹1,52,000–₹1,53,000 zone, showing signs of stabilization after recovering from the recent lower levels near ₹1,49,000–₹1,48,000, indicating selective buying interest emerging at lower support zones. Technically, immediate resistance is placed at ₹1,54,000–₹1,55,500, followed by a stronger hurdle near ₹1,58,000–₹1,60,000. A sustained breakout above these levels could strengthen bullish momentum and extend the recovery toward higher levels."

He added: "On the downside, immediate support is seen near ₹1,50,000–₹1,48,000, while stronger support remains positioned around ₹1,45,000–₹1,43,000. A decisive break below this zone could weaken the recovery structure and trigger further corrective pressure. The broader trend remains cautiously positive, with prices holding above key support levels. However, further directional momentum will depend on a sustained breakout above the ₹1,55,500 resistance zone."
