Gold & Silver Rates Today, 23 April 2025: Gold prices on Tuesday saw June futures dip by 1.52 per cent or Rs 1,477 to touch Rs 96,500 per 10 grams. Meanwhile, May silver futures slipped 0.29 per cent or Rs 275 to close at Rs 95,699 per kilogram.

Global Gold Prices dip after early surge

Globally, gold soared to a record $3,500 per ounce in early trade due to safe-haven buying amid global uncertainty. But prices later dropped, with spot gold down 1.5 per cent to $3,372.68 an ounce by 3:46 p.m. EDT (1946 GMT), while US gold futures closed 0.2 per cent lower at $3,419.40 per ounce.

Stronger dollar, positive trade signals pressure Gold

The pullback came after US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent hinted at easing tensions with China, lifting equity markets and the US dollar. The dollar index (.DXY) gained 0.7 per cent, making gold costlier for holders of other currencies.

“Gold began to retreat after the Treasury Secretary’s comments hinted at progress with China. That’s when the sell-off began,” said Bob Haberkorn, senior market strategist at RJO Futures.

Domestic markets stay resilient on Rupee weakness

Despite the global pullback, domestic gold prices ended higher, supported by a weaker rupee. On MCX, gold for June delivery settled at Rs 97,340 per 10 grams, up 0.04 per cent, while silver closed at Rs 95,879/kg, up 0.66 per cent.

Expert View: High volatility to continue

Manoj Jain, Director at India Nivesh, said, “Gold and silver showed high volatility. While gold breached $3,500 in early trade, profit-taking emerged following positive US remarks on China.”

Gold outlook still bullish despite dip
