Gold and silver prices opened sharply lower on Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) on Monday as escalating tensions in the Middle East pushed oil prices higher, stoking inflation concerns and strengthening expectations that interest rates could remain elevated for longer.
In the domestic market, MCX silver futures for July 2026 delivery dipped Rs 5,643 or 2.1% to Rs 2,66,243 per kg. Gold futures for June 2026 delivery were down Rs 1,000 or 0.6% Rs 1,57,547 per 10 grams. In the previous session, silver and gold ended flat-to-negative.
