The MCX silver futures expiring on March 5, 2026, gained by 4 per cent, rising Rs 10,000 to reach Rs 2,59,887 per kg. At the same time, gold futures for April 2, 2026 delivery increased by Rs 3,049, or 2 per cent, to trade at Rs 1,58,500 per 10 grams.

Why there is change in rates?

Gold and silver extended gains as the dollar weakened, with investors awaiting a key US labour market report later this week to assess the future path of interest rates.

According to analysts, the major reasons behind changes are:

• Weakness in the prices of gold and silver in the international market.
• The strengthening of the US dollar, which put pressure on demand for precious metals.
• Speeding up the process of withdrawing profits by investors.
• When the dollar strengthens, spending by foreign buyers increases and this reduces demand for safe investments like gold and silver.
