Gold Holds Steady On MCX As Middle East Tensions Cloud Market Direction

Bullion Trades Range-Bound As Strait Of Hormuz Uncertainty Fuels Inflation FearsĀ 

Published

on

Gold prices were largely unchanged at the open on India’s Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) on Tuesday, as investors weighed persistent geopolitical tensions in the Middle East against shifting expectations for global monetary policy.

The MCX gold May futures contract edged up 0.01% to Rs. 1,52,417 per 10 grams in early trade, while silver for May delivery declined 0.55% to Rs. 2,51,160 per kilogram. The muted start followed a cautious global tone, with bullion markets struggling to find direction amid conflicting macro signals.

Internationally, spot gold held above the $4,800-an-ounce mark in early trading but later slipped about 0.5%, even as crude oil prices fell nearly 1%. Spot silver also weakened, dropping roughly 1%. The divergence underscores a market caught between safe-haven demand and rising concerns over tighter financial conditions.

Investor sentiment remains tethered to developments around the Strait of Hormuz, a critical artery for global energy supplies. Escalating tensions in the region have fueled fears of a prolonged disruption, amplifying inflationary pressures at a time when central banks are already navigating a delicate policy balance.

Indriya, Aditya Birla Jewellery, unveiled an exclusive jewellery curation for House of Masaba’s bridal showcase at India Couture Week 2026. Marking House of Masaba’s first-ever bridal couture showcase, the collection celebrated a bride who is fearless, joyful and unapologetically herself, rooted in heritage yet free in expression. Complementing this vision, Indriya brought together a thoughtfully curated selection of jewellery that reflected both India’s rich craftsmanship traditions and contemporary design sensibilities. Backed by the trust of the Aditya Birla Group, the brand showcased how heritage-inspired creations, modern silhouettes and evolving design expressions can come together for today’s consumer. The runway was further elevated by an iconic line-up featuring supermodels Madhu Sapre, who returned to the India Couture Week runway after nearly a decade, alongside Carol Gracias, Sheetal Mallar and Sakshi Sindwani, each bringing the collection to life through their distinctive presence.

Themed around reimagining how traditions are worn, the exclusive curation featured some of Indriya’s most exquisite jewellery, inspired by the country’s diverse cultures and regional design languages. From classic yellow gold and heirloom-inspired antique jewellery to temple jewellery adorned with intricate nakshi work, Rajasthan’s iconic aads, delicate filigree craftsmanship, ceremonial maang tikas and vibrant coloured stones set in gold, the curation also reflected Indriya’s contemporary design language through versatile creations crafted for modern tastes and lifestyles. Styled with House of Masaba’s bridal creations, where heritage, colour and individuality take centre stage, the jewellery became a natural extension of the show’s narrative, celebrating Indian craftsmanship through a distinctly contemporary lens.

Speaking about the collaboration, Shantiswarup Panda, Head of Marketing at Indriya, said:

Shantiswarup Panda

ā€œFashion and jewellery have always shared a powerful dialogue, each elevating the other. Our collaboration with House of Masaba at India Couture Week brought together two distinct creative visions rooted in Indian heritage, offering Indriya the opportunity to present its design philosophy within a larger cultural conversation, where craftsmanship, creativity and contemporary expression come together.

The collection provided the perfect canvas for our jewellery, demonstrating how India’s rich jewellery traditions continue to evolve while remaining deeply relevant to the modern consumer.ā€

Every creation was handcrafted by master artisans using techniques refined over generations. Intricate detailing, exceptional stone setting and thoughtfully crafted motifs transformed each jewel into an enduring work of art. Styled with House of Masaba’s contemporary bridal silhouettes, the collection reimagined traditional jewellery beyond conventional occasions, revealing its versatility and relevance for the modern bride.

Designer Masaba Gupta said:

ā€œI’m very excited to bring on Indriya as the jewellery partner for my first couture show. I think that the brand is at the perfect cusp of tradition and modernity. I have seen some of the pieces and instantly feel like they will belong not just on the runway but also in our wardrobes and as part of our personal collections. The jewellery is exquisitely crafted and has a lot of storytelling, and I think that the brand is very loud and proudly Indian, which I love and which is what House of Masaba stands for.

It is also a brand that has been able to ignite a lot of trust within the market because it comes from the Aditya Birla Group, and I think when it comes to fine jewellery and bridal jewellery, it’s very important to have that trust, and I think that they do that beautifully,ā€

Speaking about the jewellery curation, Abhishek Rastogi, Head of Design at Indriya, said:

ā€œFor House of Masaba’s showcase at India Couture Week, Indriya brought together a curation that celebrates the breadth and richness of Indian jewellery craftsmanship. Every creation reflects the artistry of master craftsmen, where generations-old techniques, intricate handwork and regional traditions come together in timeless design. Styled with contemporary couture, the collection reaffirms that India’s finest jewellery traditions are not simply preserved, they continue to evolve, proving that heritage remains an enduring source of inspiration for modern design.ā€

With this exclusive showcase at India Couture Week 2026, Indriya and House of Masaba presented a celebration of contemporary Indian bridal expression. Bringing together House of Masaba’s vibrant, heritage-inspired vision for the modern bride and Indriya’s curation of exceptional regional jewellery craftsmanship, the collaboration demonstrated how tradition can be continuously reinterpreted through fashion and jewellery. Together, the two brands created a powerful narrative of culture, individuality and artistry, honouring India’s rich creative legacy while shaping its future.
