Gold, Silver Fall As Global Bond Yields Surge
Higher Yields Elevate The Opportunity Cost Of Holding Non-Yielding Assets Like Bullion, Weighing Heavily On Sentiment Across Commodity Markets.
Gold and silver futures slipped on the MCX. The benchmark October contract for gold dipped Rs 69 to Rs 154,193 per 10 grams after opening at Rs 153,900. Prices hovered between a low of Rs 153,900 and a session high of Rs 154,326, down from its yearly peak of Rs 180,779.
MCX Silver: The benchmark September contract dropped Rs 2,181 to Rs 230,238 per kilogram. During the session, prices fluctuated between Rs 229,666 and Rs 230,528, well beneath the yearly high of Rs 420,048.
Despite the immediate pressure from soaring bond yields, commodity strategists note that downside risks may be capped as traders continue to price in reduced odds of further rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, which could offer underlying support to metals over the medium term.
Yields on the benchmark 30-year U.S. Treasury bond touched a 19-year high in morning trading, while sovereign debt yields in major economies spiked to multi-decade peaks. Higher yields elevate the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like bullion, weighing heavily on sentiment across commodity markets.

Gold prices in India extend recovery on softer U.S. dollar, easing Treasury yields, lower crude oil prices.
Market participants attributed the firming metal prices to a pause in U.S. yield gains following strong demand at the latest 30-year U.S. Treasury auction, which relieved pressure on non-yielding assets.
Gold prices in India extended their recovery on Saturday, with 24-carat gold climbing back above the 151,000 rupee mark per 10 grams, supported by a softer U.S. dollar, easing Treasury yields, and lower crude oil prices.
The domestic benchmark rate for 24K gold rose by 710 rupees, or approximately 0.47%, to 151,420 rupees per 10 grams. For bulk purchases, 100 grams of 24K gold stood at 1,514,200 rupees, up 7,100 rupees from the previous session.
Jewellery-grade 22K gold advanced by 650 rupees to 138,800 rupees per 10 grams, while 18K gold climbed 540 rupees to hit 113,570 rupees per 10 grams. Per sovereign (8 grams), 24K gold traded at 121,136 rupees and 22K gold at 111,040 rupees.
The rebound follows a volatile week for bullion. Over the past four sessions, 24K gold has climbed nearly 1.5%, gaining roughly 2,240 rupees from 149,180 rupees on Oct. 6. On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), gold futures rebounded above 151,000 rupees after dipping toward the 149,000 rupee level earlier in the week.
In international markets, spot gold traded near $4,174.78 an ounce after recovering from $4,118.63 in the previous session and briefly breaching $4,200. International spot silver surged over 2% to trade around $60.40 an ounce, driving domestic silver rates in India to approximately 235,000 rupees per kilogram.
Market participants attributed the firming metal prices to a pause in U.S. yield gains following strong demand at the latest 30-year U.S. Treasury auction, which relieved pressure on non-yielding assets.
However, analysts warned that near-term gains may remain capped due to expectations surrounding Federal Reserve monetary policy.The key constraint is the Federal Reserve’s hawkish stance, with policymakers signaling that further tightening may be necessary to bring inflation back to target.
