Gold, Silver Rates Today on Holi 2026

On March 3, the 24K gold price in New Delhi stood at Rs 17,017 per gram at the time of writing. Silver prices also mirrored the weakness in bullion, sliding by Rs 20,000 per kilogram on Tuesday, adding further pressure to the precious metals segment in the domestic market.

Globally, however, gold continued to trade near historic highs. Spot gold hovered around $5,320 per ounce on Tuesday, following a strong four-session rally driven by safe-haven demand. Investors have been flocking to bullion amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

The surge in international prices was triggered after US President Donald Trump warned that the United States would continue military action against Iran until it no longer posed a threat. His remarks signaled that the conflict could stretch for a month or even "far longer," intensifying uncertainty in global markets and sustaining demand for gold as a protective hedge.
