Gold rates and silver rates in India fell significantly on February 12, trimming their previous session's rally. MCX gold touched an intraday low of Rs 1,57,701 per 10 grams, while MCX Silver struggled to hold Rs 2.60 lakh mark after hitting an intraday high of Rs 2.63,018 per 1Kg. Both gold and silver prices are down by nearly 1% each.
The performance tracks selling pressure in international bullion and silver. Spot Gold also pulled back from its previous gains to trade lower by 1% and hovered around $5,050 per ounce. Meanwhile, spot silver traded around $83.50 per ounce with nearly 1% decline as well.
The move followed stronger-than-expected US jobs data, with employment posting its largest increase in over a year in January and the unemployment rate unexpectedly declining, signaling a resilient labor market at the start of 2026. The data reinforced the Fed's cautious stance, with traders pushing back expectations for the next rate cut to July from June. Investors are now awaiting Friday's US consumer price index report for further insights, as per Trading Economics.
Despite the latest selling pressure, MCX gold continues to hold between Rs 1.57 lakh to Rs 1.58 lakh mark and MCX silver stays above Rs 2.6 lakh. Further, COMEX gold managed to stay above $5,000 levels. These are key levels for the precious metals.

Gold & Silver Rates Today Live: Precious Metals Under Pressure Despite Dollar Loosing Shine
In general terms, a weak dollar works like magic for gold and silver as they become attractive investment assets for investors to hedge returns. But on February 12th, gold and silver are both under pressure despite US dollar slipping mildly to around 96.8 levels against a basket of currencies. The stronger than expected US job data has lowered the probability of a rate cut in June policy, and yet dollar is struggling to find a solid ground. The weakening in dollar could be attributed to rallying yen amid renewed verbal interventions from Japanese authorities and optimism that Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s expansionary fiscal policies will bolster domestic growth.

Gold & Silver Rates Today Live: US Job Data
The US added 130K payrolls in January 2026, higher than market expectations of 70K. Also, this is a strong surge from revised 48K payrolls surge in December 2025. The latest January job data becomes the highest ever since December 2024. This data has soured investors appetite for bullion as now a more cautious stance from US Federal Reserve is expected.
The main reason why gold and silver prices are facing selling pressure is the heightened expectations of cautious stance from Fed in the upcoming policy. As per Trading Economics, Investors pared back expectations for Federal Reserve policy easing. The move followed stronger-than-expected US jobs data, with employment posting its largest increase in over a year in January and the unemployment rate unexpectedly declining, signaling a resilient labor market at the start of 2026. The data reinforced the Fed’s cautious stance, with traders pushing back expectations for the next rate cut to July from June.
