MCX Gold Declines, Silver Crashes By Rs. 6,000/kg
The Sharp Sell-Off Comes On The Heels Of A Hawkish Stance By The US Federal Reserve, Fueling Expectations Of Prolonged High Interest Rates.
Indian bullion markets witnessed a massive correction today as gold and silver prices tumbled under heavy global pressure. Domestic 24K gold rates slipped toward the Rs. 1.47 lakh per 10 grams mark on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), while silver suffered a brutal meltdown, crashing by nearly Rs. 6,000 per kilogram.
The sharp sell-off comes on the heels of a hawkish stance by the US Federal Reserve, fueling expectations of prolonged high interest rates. A surging US Dollar Index coupled with geopolitical anxieties—including a lingering US-Iran blockade and persistent global inflation fears—dragged international spot gold down to $4,151.89 per ounce, triggering a ripple effect across Indian retail hubs.
MCX Gold (10g): Rs. 1,47,175 (Down 1.4% intraday)
- Silver Crash: Shed a staggering ~Rs. 6,000 per kg in a single session.
- Primary Triggers: Persistent hawkish Fed commentary, a robust US dollar, and profit booking at higher levels
