Gold Silver Price Update: Impact of US Dollar and Fed Policy
Gold and silver prices declined on the MCX amid a strong dollar and global tensions. Stable interest rates by the Federal Reserve and rising crude oil prices have pressured bullion, with gold and silver witnessing notable losses in both domestic and international markets.
The bullion market on the Multi-Commodity Exchange (MCX) remained under pressure. Amid a strong US dollar and global uncertainties, both gold and silver prices declined. On the MCX, 24-carat gold fell 0.57% to trade at ₹1,52,150 per 10 grams, while silver fell 1.21% to ₹2,45,197 per kilogram.
According to experts, US-Iran tensions and the ongoing conflict in West Asia have led to higher crude oil prices, which have strengthened the dollar and directly pressured gold and silver.
The US Federal Reserve's latest monetary policy decision also affected the market. For the second consecutive meeting, the Fed has kept interest rates within the 3.5% to 3.75% range. Previously, 0.25% cuts were made in September, October, and December of 2025. The market also focused on comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
