Bullion prices soared in early trade on March 25, 2026, breaking a days-long losing streak as crude prices declined and signs of easing in the Middle East crisis emerged.
Gold futures (April 2 expiry) rallied sharply, gaining over Rs 5,500 to hit Rs 1,44,434 per 10 grams compared to the previous close of Rs 1,38,912. Silver futures (May 5 expiry) surged Rs 13,200, reaching Rs 2,37,169 per kilogram against the last closing of Rs 2,23,941.
Analysts said the rebound reflects investor confidence returning to bullion after recent weakness. The decline in crude prices and easing geopolitical tensions provided support, while domestic demand also contributed to the rally.
Traders noted that gold and silver remain sensitive to global cues, including interest-rate expectations, currency movements, and risk sentiment. The sharp rise in futures indicates renewed buying interest at lower levels, though volatility may continue in the near term.
