Gold, silver prices today (July 3): Yellow metal stable; silver crosses ₹2.45 lakh, touches ₹2.5 lakh

Gold and silver prices remained largely stable on Friday, July 3, as weakness in international bullion markets weighed on domestic rates. The rates continued to remain stable amid a stronger US dollar and rising expectations that the US Federal Reserve may maintain higher interest rates for a longer period, reducing the appeal of non-yielding assets such as gold.

On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), gold futures were down by 0.02% and settled at over ₹1.45 lakh per 10 grams during the July 2 session. Silver futures settled 0.04% lower to close above ₹2.33 lakh 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.
