Gold and silver prices extended their sharp rally on Wednesday, tracking strong gains in global bullion markets as the US dollar weakened. On MCX, gold April futures opened nearly 3% higher at ₹1,58,420 per 10 grams and surged to an intraday high of ₹1,60,755, marking a rise of over 4.5% from the previous close. Silver March futures also jumped sharply, opening up by ₹10,000 per kg and climbing as much as 6% to hit ₹2,84,094, as investors continued to chase safe-haven assets amid heightened volatility.
Internationally, the momentum remained equally strong. Spot gold rose 2.2% to US$5,044.74 per ounce after posting a massive 5.9% jump on Tuesday, while US gold futures climbed 2.7% to US$5,067 per ounce. Spot silver gained 2.1% to US$86.92 per ounce, even as it stayed sharply below last week’s record high, highlighting the extreme swings currently gripping precious metals markets.
