Gold Prices Crash ₹6,400 in a Week, Silver Falls Over ₹14,000: Latest Bullion Market Update

Posted on 15th Jun 2026 12:11 pm by rohit kumar

After months of strong gains, gold and silver witnessed a significant correction this week, providing relief to buyers but raising concerns among investors. According to data released by the India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA), gold prices declined by more than ₹6,400 per 10 grams, while silver prices dropped by over ₹14,000 per kilogram during the week.

 

Market experts attribute the decline to profit-booking, rising inflation concerns, elevated crude oil prices, and changing expectations regarding global interest rates.

 

According to IBJA data, the lowest gold price during the week was recorded at ₹1,44,782 per 10 grams during the morning session on June 11, while the highest level touched ₹1,52,519 per 10 grams on June 9.

 

The sharp fluctuation highlights the growing volatility currently seen in precious metal markets.

 

Silver Prices Drop More Than ₹14,000 Per Kilogram

 

Silver also witnessed a significant decline alongside gold.

 

Latest Silver Rate

Previous Price: ₹2,56,908 per kg

Current Price: ₹2,42,582 per kg

Weekly Decline: ₹14,326 per kg

 

The metal touched a weekly low of ₹2,32,591 per kilogram during the evening session on June 11, while the highest price was recorded at ₹2,45,938 per kilogram during the evening session on June 9.

 

Despite the recent correction, silver continues to remain one of the strongest-performing commodities over the past year.

 

What Triggered the Fall in Gold and Silver Prices?

 

Market analysts point to several global factors behind the decline.

 

1. Profit Booking by Investors

 

Gold and silver have delivered strong gains over the last year. Following this rally, many investors chose to lock in profits, putting pressure on prices.

 

2. Rising Inflation Concerns

 

Persistent inflationary pressures in major economies have created uncertainty in financial markets, prompting investors to reassess positions in precious metals.

 

3. High Crude Oil Prices

 

Ongoing geopolitical tensions and concerns regarding crude oil supply disruptions have kept energy prices elevated, influencing broader commodity market sentiment.

 

4. Interest Rate Expectations

 

Investors are closely monitoring central bank policies worldwide. Expectations of higher interest rates generally reduce the appeal of non-yielding assets such as gold and silver, leading to selling pressure.

 

International Gold and Silver Prices

 

Global bullion markets also witnessed volatility during the week.

 

International Spot Prices

Gold: Around $4,248 per ounce

Silver: Around $68 per ounce

 

International market movements continue to play a crucial role in determining domestic bullion prices in India.

 

Despite the Correction, Returns Remain Strong

 

Although prices have declined recently, both gold and silver have delivered impressive returns over the past year.

 

One-Year Performance

Gold Return: More than 24%

Silver Return: More than 87%

 

Silver has significantly outperformed gold, driven by strong industrial demand from sectors such as solar energy, electronics, electric vehicles, and advanced manufacturing.

 

Is This a Buying Opportunity?

 

Many investors view sharp corrections in gold and silver as opportunities to accumulate positions for the long term.

 

Financial experts generally suggest that:

 

Long-term investors may consider staggered buying.

Portfolio diversification remains important.

Precious metals can act as a hedge against inflation and geopolitical uncertainty.

Investors should avoid making decisions solely based on short-term price movements.

Outlook for the Bullion Market

 

The near-term direction of gold and silver prices will largely depend on:

 

Global inflation data

Crude oil price trends

Central bank interest rate decisions

Geopolitical developments

Demand from retail and institutional investors

 

Market participants are expected to closely track these factors before taking fresh positions in precious metals.
