Gold and silver prices opened higher for a third straight session on the MCX on Friday, supported by a weaker dollar and efforts by the U.S. Treasury Department to keep longer-term yields under control. The U.S. dollar was headed for a weekly decline, making dollar-priced commodities more affordable for holders of other currencies.
In the domestic market, MCX silver futures for September 2026 delivery were up Rs 1,915 at Rs 2,45,158 per kg. Gold futures for October 2026 delivery rose by Rs 1,205 to Rs 1,60,630 per 10 grams. In the last three sessions, silver has jumped Rs 13,000, while gold has risen nearly Rs 6,500/10 grams.
