Gold & Silver Prices Today, 14 May 2025: Gold and silver prices declined in both international and domestic markets on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, as easing U.S.-China trade tensions and cooling inflation data from the U.S. weakened safe-haven demand for precious metals.
On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), gold futures for June delivery fell by Rs 451 or 0.48%, closing at Rs 93,288 per 10 grams. Silver futures for May delivery slipped by Rs 683 or 0.71%, settling at Rs 96,084 per kilogram.
In global markets, spot gold dropped 0.4% to $3,234.32 an ounce, while U.S. gold futures fell 0.3% to $3,237.00, as investors shifted focus from safe-haven assets to riskier ones amid signs of progress in trade talks. Silver also mirrored the trend, falling 0.8% to $32.63 an ounce.
“Positive developments in U.S. trade policy are diminishing the appeal of gold in the short term,” said Kyle Rodda, financial market analyst at Capital.com. He added that gold could test key support at $3,200 per ounce if trade negotiations continue to improve.
The downward pressure came after the White House announced a 30% cut in de minimis tariffs on low-value imports from China, indicating a thaw in U.S.-China trade relations. President Donald Trump further reassured markets by stating that he does not expect tariffs on Chinese goods to return to previous highs.
Meanwhile, U.S. inflation data added to the sentiment. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.2% in April, slightly below expectations of a 0.3% rise, signaling potential relief from inflationary pressures. Core CPI remained steady at 2.8% year-on-year, in line with forecasts.
Domestic Price Recovery on Tuesday
Despite the dip on Wednesday, both gold and silver had settled higher on Tuesday. Gold June futures closed at $3,247.80 per troy ounce, up by 0.61%, and silver July futures at $33.10, up by 1.46%. Indian markets mirrored this trend, with gold closing at Rs 93,647/10 gm and silver at Rs 96,767/kg, both gaining nearly 1.5%.
Manoj Jain, Director at India Nivesh, noted that the softening U.S. CPI and a drop in the dollar index supported the rebound in prices. However, he cautioned that geopolitical tensions, U.S. bond yields, and volatility in the dollar index could lead to choppy trade in the days ahead.
“Gold has support at $3,222–3,200, with resistance at $3,274–3,300. Silver support lies at $32.80–32.55, resistance at $33.30–33.66. On MCX, gold support is seen at Rs 93,150–92,660, resistance at Rs 94,000–94,450. We recommend avoiding gold and buying silver on dips near Rs 95,800, with a stop-loss of Rs 95,100 and target of Rs 97,200,” Jain advised.
Currency & Dollar Index Movement
The dollar index fell 0.80% to 100.80 on Tuesday after the inflation report, and the USD-INR May futures settled weaker at 85.3600. Analysts expect the dollar index to trade between 97.70 and 102.85 amid global financial volatility, trade developments, and bond yields.
The rupee, meanwhile, recovered from intraday lows as the dollar weakened and tensions between India and Pakistan appeared to ease. However, rising crude oil prices and profit booking in domestic equity markets capped its upside.
Analysts anticipate continued volatility in both the rupee and precious metals markets amid evolving global cues.
