Gold and Silver Prices Today: Gold gains at Rs 99,109, silver gains at Rs 1,12,715; check out city-wise rates

Gold and silver prices recovered from early lows on Thursday, supported by short covering and a weak dollar, as investors awaited US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium.

On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), gold October futures rose Rs 195 or 0.20 per cent to Rs 99,109 per 10 grams, while silver September futures gained Rs 162 or 0.14% to Rs 1,12,715 per kilogram. In international markets, gold December futures settled 0.89% higher at $3,388.50 per ounce, and silver September futures ended 1.18% higher at $37.774 per ounce on Wednesday.

Analysts noted that bullion’s rebound came amid a sell-off in US equities and expectations of monetary policy cues from Powell. Minutes of the latest Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting showed caution on rate cuts, with concerns about inflation and weakening labor markets. Some Fed members, however, supported a September rate cut.

Traders expect gold to remain volatile in the near term, with support seen at $3,370–3,350 per ounce and resistance at $3,404–3,424. Silver has support at $37.40–37.15 and resistance at $38.00–38.40. In domestic markets, gold support lies at Rs 99,000–98,650, while resistance is at Rs 99,720–1,00,100. Silver support is pegged at Rs 1,11,800–1,11,100 and resistance at Rs 1,13,300–1,14,000.

The dollar index traded steady at 98.11, while the rupee ended flat at 87.09 against the US dollar. Both are expected to stay volatile ahead of Powell’s address, global equity moves, and geopolitical tensions.

Spot gold was last seen down 0.2 per cent at $3,338.89 per ounce in early Asian trade, while US gold futures for December delivery slipped 0.2 per cent to $3,381.20. Spot silver edged 0.1% lower to $37.86 per ounce.

Market watchers believe Powell’s remarks will be key to the next directional move in bullion, with any signal of rate cuts potentially pushing gold closer to the $3,400 mark.
