Gold, silver prices on November 3: Yellow metal drops to ₹1.39 lakh, silver at ₹1.80 lakh; check latest rates here

Indian gold and silver markets slipped on November 3 across 24-carat, 22-carat, and 18-carat purities. Benchmark gold rates stand at ₹1,39,420 per 10 gm while silver continued its slip from the ₹2-lakh mark trading at ₹1,80,510 per kg. Silver’s uninterrupted 2025 bull run has hit a wall, with the metal surrendering more than half of its gains as surging crude oil prices and persistent inflation fears fuel expectations of further US interest rate hikes.

On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), gold futures were down by 0.86% at ₹1,38,979 per 10 gm, whereas silver futures were down by 2.09% at around ₹1,79,940 per kg at the time of writing this story.

Higher interest rates remain a headwind for non-yielding gold, with markets also watching global economic risks and rising geopolitical tensions in the West Asia region.

In the physical retail market, gold is primarily bought in 24-karat and 22-karat options. While 24-karat represents pure gold, 22-karat remains the preferred choice for crafting ornaments because the mixed alloys deliver greater durability.

Prices in India remain anchored by international spot bullion trends, USD/INR currency dynamics, and anticipatory retail demand ahead of peak festival shopping.

The rates quoted in benchmark tables and store listings reflect base bullion prices. Retail gold purchases in India attract a standard 3% GST on the value of the metal, plus a separate 5% GST on the jewellery making charges. Import duties and local transport surcharges also influence regional price variations across states.
