New Delhi: Weakness is clearly visible in the gold and silver market this week of April 2026. On Friday, the price of gold fell by about Rs 1,150 to around Rs 151,500 per 10 grams. At the same time, there was a sharp decline in silver, due to which the concern of investors has increased.
At present there is pressure on gold from many sides.
Due to these reasons, gold, which is generally considered a safe investment, is looking weak at the moment. Because when interest rates are high, the demand for non-interest-bearing assets like gold decreases.
This effect seems to be a bit opposite. Usually sleep increases when stress increases, but this time the situation is not clear. The pause in talks between the US and Iran and rising tensions around the Strait of Hormuz are making the market volatile. However, in the absence of any major conflict, investors are booking profits instead of making fresh purchases.
According to experts, there is strong support for gold around Rs 148,000. There is resistance around Rs 155,000. This means that prices can go up and down within this range, and at present no clear trend is visible.
A major decline was seen in silver. Spot silver fell nearly 2.7%. There was weakness in platinum and palladium also. This shows that not just gold, but the entire precious metals segment is under pressure.
The US dollar has strengthened. The 10-year bond yield increased to around 4.32%. When bonds start giving better returns, investors withdraw money from gold and shift it there. This increases pressure on the price of gold.
At present the market will remain “volatile”.
The direction of gold will be decided on these three. Experts believe that until these factors stabilize, gold may remain under pressure and sharp fluctuations will be seen at times.
This is the time for investors to be cautious, because the market is not giving clear signals in any one direction right now.
