Silver Price On MCX
Similarly, the silver futures, maturing on July 3, 2026, opened lower. It started the trading session at Rs 2,43,426 against the previous close of Rs 2,43,895, a fall of Rs 469 or 0.19 per cent. It later rebounded to touch the high of Rs 2,44,326, a gain of Rs 431 or 0.17 per cent.
Gold Price in the International Market
In the international market, the COMEX gold price gained by 0.28 per cent to approximately USD 4,545.8 per troy ounce. The spot gold price at 10:44 am was USD 4,539.93 per ounce, up by USD 15.90 or 0.35 per cent.
“MCX Gold opened on a steady note and is currently trading within the Rs 1,49,000- Rs 1,50,000 range. However, price action continues to indicate underlying selling pressure. Immediate resistance is placed at Rs 1,51,000– Rs 1,52,000; a sustained move above this band could help ease near-term bearish pressure and extend the recovery toward the Rs 1,55,000– Rs 1,56,000 zone. On the downside, a break below Rs 1,48,000-Rs 1,47,000 may trigger further weakness toward Rs 1,45,000– Rs 1,44,000, with Rs 1,40,000 acting as a stronger support base. Overall, the near-term bias remains cautious, influenced by firm dollar demand and evolving geopolitical developments,” said Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money.
