Gold prices in India surged by 21% in 2024, driven by central bank policies, geopolitical risks, and strong global demand. As of January 1, 2025, gold prices were Rs 78,000 per 10 grams for 24K, with predictions pointing towards a rise to Rs 85,000-90,000 in 2025. While gold outperformed other commodities in 2024, experts recommend a “buy-on-dips” strategy for investors, as prices may consolidate before further gains. Geopolitical tensions and central bank actions will continue to support the demand for gold and silver.

Silver also saw impressive gains in 2024, with prices expected to reach Rs 1.1-1.25 lakh per kg, fueled by industrial and investment demand. Experts like Manav Modi from Motilal Oswal Financial Services maintain a positive outlook for both metals in the medium to long term, forecasting potential price growth even amid market fluctuations. However, while Rs 1 lakh for gold is considered optimistic, extreme economic conditions could push it towards that mark.

MCX Gold Surges Past Rs 1.50 Lakh, Rally Builds On Optimism Over Potential Middle East Truce Talks

Rally Signals A Cautious But Firm Upward Trend In Global Markets.

On April 1, 2026, India’s Multi-Commodity Exchange (MCX) witnessed a notable uptick in gold futures, with prices climbing 1.02% to Rs.1,52,298 per 10 grams for 24-carat purity, surpassing the Rs.1.50 lakh threshold. Silver followed suit, edging up 0.35% to Rs.2,41,736 per kilogram for 999 purity. Internationally, spot gold advanced 0.58% to $4,674 per ounce, while silver dipped marginally by 0.17% to $74.79 per ounce. These movements reflect a market gripped by caution, as investors parse the interplay of escalating crude oil prices, a resilient U.S. dollar, and constrained energy supplies—counterbalanced by tentative signals of de-escalation in West Asia from U.S. and Iranian diplomatic channels.

This gold rally builds on Tuesday’s gains, fueled by optimism over potential Middle East truce talks. Yet, the broader narrative reveals underlying pressures: bullion has plummeted over 13% this month alone, charting its sharpest monthly decline since October 2008. A fortified dollar has eroded affordability for non-U.S. currency holders, while surging energy costs have eroded prospects for U.S. Federal Reserve rate cuts in 2026, dampening safe-haven demand. The dollar’s slight easing offers some relief, rendering dollar-denominated commodities more accessible globally. Quarterly, gold remains modestly ahead by about 5%, underscoring its resilience as a hedge despite short-term headwinds.

For stakeholders in India’s gems and jewellery sector—particularly MSMEs reliant on precious metals imports—these dynamics demand a vigilant strategy. A stronger rupee against the dollar could mitigate input costs, but persistent West Asian volatility risks supply chain disruptions and inflated hedging expenses.

Domestic fabricators and exporters should monitor Iran-U.S. negotiations closely, as de-escalation could stabilize crude benchmarks and revive rate-cut hopes, potentially lifting silver’s industrial demand in electronics and solar applications. Forward contracts on MCX and diversified portfolios blending physical bullion with digital gold alternatives emerge as prudent tactics. As energy transitions reshape global trade, precious metals’ dual role as both barometer and bulwark positions them centrally in the evolving jewellery market landscape.
