MCX Gold Slips Below Key Technical Levels; Silver Extends Sharp Selloff

MCX Gold fell below ₹1,44,800, declining over 8% in the past week and breaching its 9-week EMA, while MCX Silver dropped more than 12% to ₹2,27,400.

Gold and silver contracts on the Multi-Commodity Exchange hit lower circuits on Monday, extending a sharp multi-week selloff as rising US Treasury yields, a stronger dollar, and elevated rate-hike expectations continued to overwhelm any safe-haven support from the ongoing West Asia conflict.

MCX Gold, currently priced at Rs.1,44,800, has fallen over 8 per cent in the past week alone, slipping below its 9-week exponential moving average for the first time since June 2025 — a development analyst at Axis Direct described as a clear bearish signal. The RSI has also dropped below 60, indicating strong downside momentum. COMEX Gold has shed more than 10 per cent over the same period, recording its steepest weekly decline in decades, settling below $4,500.

MCX Silver has been hit harder, extending its losing streak to a fourth consecutive week. The contract, last traded at Rs.2,27,400, has fallen more than 12 per cent over the past week and is now trading below its 9-week EMA, with the RSI also under 60. Spot silver on COMEX plunged over 15 per cent last week to settle below $70 for the first time since December 2025.

Rising rates and oil prices weigh on metals

The selloff is rooted in a paradox: the very conflict driving geopolitical anxiety is also the force undermining metals prices. The West Asia escalation has pushed crude oil sharply higher, stoking inflation fears and prompting markets to price in a 50 per cent probability of a US Federal Reserve rate hike by October. Traders are also pricing in at least three rate hikes each from the European Central Bank and the Bank of England in 2026.

From the domestic industry perspective, the price drop is already creating stress.

Analysts recommend cautious approach amid volatility

Analysts note that the correction, while severe, may not signal a structural reversal. As per a report, it indicates that prolonged conflict could eventually turn supportive for both metals, with persistent inflation and fiscal strain reinforcing gold’s store-of-value role over time. Silver, may initially lag if economic growth weakens but could benefit later from both inflation hedging and industrial demand.
