Gold rallies 4%, silver soars over 5% on MCX as dollar weakens and oil prices ease
MCX gold surged to ₹1,44,434 per 10g while silver jumped over 5.5%, supported by easing inflation concerns and improving geopolitical sentiment.
Gold and silver prices snapped a sharp two-session losing streak on Wednesday, as a retreating U.S. dollar and cooling crude oil prices reignited appetite for precious metals.
On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), gold futures for June delivery jumped 4% to hit an intraday high of Rs.1,44,434 per 10 grams. Silver outpaced its yellow counterpart, surging more than 5.5% to trade near Rs.2,36,137 per kilogram. The rebound follows a brutal week of selling that saw bullion prices correct nearly 13% from recent highs amid a global liquidity squeeze.
The sudden reversal in sentiment was fueled by a convergence of three key macroeconomic shifts:
- Weakening Greenback: The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) slipped to 99.34, making dollar-denominated assets more affordable for international buyers.
- Crude Oil De-escalation: Brent crude fell below the psychologically significant $100-per-barrel mark, trading near $96. Easing energy costs have tempered fears of “sticky” inflation, allowing traders to price in a more dovish stance from central banks.
- Geopolitical Thaw: Reports of potential diplomatic breakthroughs between Washington and Tehran—including a rumored 15-point peace proposal—reduced the immediate “war premium” on the dollar, shifting capital back into oversold commodities.
Market Impact and Outlook
The rally extended into the exchange-traded fund (ETF) space, where silver ETFs saw gains of up to 11%. Analysts note that while the long-term trend remains volatile, the “buy the dip” mentality has returned as gold holds key support at the Rs.1,41,000 level.
