Gold rates and silver rates in India dropped sharply on April 13, following weak global cues after US-Iran talks failed, keeping the ongoing Middle East crisis on the edge. Spot gold price dropped by 2% to trade below $4,700 per ounce, and Spot Silver plunged by nearly 2% to trade below $75 per ounce.
MCX gold price tumbled by over Rs 1,100 or nearly 1% to struggle around Rs 1,51,500 per 10 grams mark. MCX silver plummeted by nearly 2% to trade around Rs 2,38,600 per 1Kg level.
On the other hand, crude oil prices climbed by nearly 7% to 9% to trade above 100 mark. US WTI crude is near $105 per barrel and Brent Crude is above $102 per barrel. The dollar climbed as well above 99 mark, recovering part of last week's losses.
The fear of global energy crisis has taken a toll among investors after failed talks between US and Iran, and the continued blockade on Strait of Hormuz.
The restrictions will apply only to vessels entering or leaving Iranian ports starting at 10 a.m. Eastern Time. Negotiations in Pakistan failed to produce an agreement, with the US accusing Tehran of refusing to curb its nuclear ambitions, while Iran reportedly sought control of the strait, war reparations, a regional ceasefire, and access to frozen overseas assets. The effective shutdown of the critical shipping route has driven energy prices sharply higher and intensified inflation risks, reinforcing expectations that central banks may delay rate cuts or even tighten policy further. This dynamic has weighed on gold, leaving it down more than 10% since the conflict began, as per Trading Economics.
