Gold, Silver Prices See Slight Rise Today; Markets Steady Amid US-Iran Talks

New Delhi: A slight increase was seen in the prices of gold and silver this morning. After the ups and downs of the past few days, the market seems to be a bit stable right now. Investors are cautious due to the ongoing US-Iran talks in Islamabad and uncertainty over the Strait of Hormuz, but some buying has also taken place.

What is the condition of MCX and international markets?

MCX Gold Futures: Around Rs 152,000 – Rs 153,500 per 10 grams (trading with slight fall)
MCX Silver: Rs 242,000 – Rs 243,000 per kg
International (COMEX/Spot Gold): Around 4,750 – 4,780 dollars per ounce (steady after slight decline)

Why are today's prices being affected?

Eyes are on US-Iran ceasefire talks. If there is an agreement, crude oil may become cheaper, which may put some pressure on gold. Weakness in the dollar index is supporting gold. Gold had fallen significantly in March; now some recovery is visible in April. Experts are saying that the level of 5,000 dolars per ounce could be tested if the Iran deal is positive.

What is the advice for investors?

If you are thinking of buying then buying on dip can be a good strategy. But the market is still very volatile — the impact of Hormuz and US-Iran talks remains the same. Gold is considered a good hedge in the long run, but be careful in the short term.
