Gold and silver prices witnessed fresh weakness on the first trading day of July as global and domestic bullion markets remained under pressure. While gold continued to trade around the ₹1.41 lakh level in major Indian cities, silver recorded a sharper decline of more than ₹3,800 per kilogram on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX). Market experts attribute the fall to a stronger US dollar, interest rate uncertainty, and subdued domestic demand.

24-Carat Gold: Around ₹1.41 lakh per 10 grams
22-Carat Gold: Around ₹1.29 lakh per 10 grams
Although prices have remained within a narrow range over the past few days, investors continue to monitor market developments closely.
Silver Prices Continue to Decline
Silver prices have also softened in the domestic market.
Currently, silver is trading in the range of:
₹2.23 lakh to ₹2.25 lakh per kilogram
The recent correction has slightly reduced buying interest among investors and jewellers.
Why Are Gold and Silver Prices Falling?
Several global and domestic factors are influencing bullion prices:
Strengthening US dollar
Uncertainty over future interest rate decisions by major central banks
Volatility in crude oil prices
Weak domestic demand after higher import costs
Profit booking by investors after recent rallies
These factors have collectively kept gold and silver under pressure at the beginning of July.
Gold Fell Nearly ₹20,000 in June
Gold witnessed a sharp correction throughout June on the MCX.
Opening Price (June 1): ₹1,60,193 per 10 grams
Closing Price (June 30): ₹1,40,450 per 10 grams
This means gold prices declined by approximately ₹19,743 per 10 grams during the month, making June one of the sharpest monthly corrections in recent times.
Should Investors Buy Now?
Market analysts believe that gold and silver prices may continue to remain volatile due to global economic developments, movements in the US dollar, and upcoming central bank policy decisions. Long-term investors may consider market corrections as an opportunity, while short-term traders should remain cautious amid ongoing price fluctuations.
