Gold Rates & Silver Rates Today Live: MCX Gold Above Rs 1.60 Lakh, Silver Price Rises 6%; 24K, 22K, 18K Gold

Gold rates and silver rates in India skyrocketed sharply, in-line with the bullish trend in global prices of precious metals. Gold has touched its highest level in over three weeks. The performance comes after the US President Donal Trump scrapped its extraordinarily high tariffs to 10% globally but then raised it mildly to 15% during the weekend.

MCX gold crossed its Rs 1.60 lakh mark but it was silver price who saw strong buying momentum. MCX silver surged by 6% and even reclaimed above Rs 2.68 lakh mark.

During the weekend, on Saturday, Trump faced a setback in his tariffs spree after US supreme court ruled against his reciprocal tariffs. In a matter of a day, he then announced 10% global tariffs, but soon after raised the tariffs to 15%. This leads to scrapping of all the previous tariffs he imposed on countries.

Trump confirmed the new duties would take effect immediately, although it remained unclear whether he had signed any official document. Meanwhile, Europe's trade commissioner signaled on Sunday a proposal to halt ratification of the trade deal with the U.S, while India postponed negotiations aimed at finalizing an interim trade deal with Washington. Investors also faced growing fears of a potential US military strike on Iran, with nuclear talks at an impasse. However, negotiators are scheduled to meet again in Geneva on Thursday, as per Trading Economics.
