Gold and silver prices in India opened sharply higher on Wednesday, following a strong rally in international bullion markets. Investors and traders saw an uptick in both metals as global cues favored a bullish momentum, and the domestic market mirrored the international trend.
Market Performance
- MCX Gold April Futures: Opened at ₹1,46,460 per 10 grams, up nearly 3% from the previous close of ₹1,42,195.
- MCX Silver May Futures: Opened at ₹2,32,898 per kg, marking a 4% jump from the previous close of ₹2,23,941.
The surge comes as the US dollar softened, making greenback-priced bullion more affordable for holders of other currencies. A dip in crude oil prices and easing inflation worries further supported bullion gains.
Main News: Global Cues Lift Domestic Bullion
