Gold futures for August delivery recorded a notable increase during Tuesday's trading session on the MCX. The contract advanced by ₹1,303, representing a gain of 0.93%, to reach ₹1.41 lakh per 10 grams.
Domestic prices received support from trader buying interest and continued uncertainty in international markets. The movement highlights the sensitivity of gold prices to both local demand patterns and global economic developments.
Silver continued to outperform gold in domestic trading, with July futures rising ₹2,946, or 1.35%, to ₹2.20 lakh per kg. The stronger gain reflects support from both investment demand and industrial consumption trends.
Unlike gold, silver benefits from its role as an industrial metal used across sectors such as electronics, renewable energy and manufacturing. This dual demand profile has helped silver maintain strength alongside broader precious metal market movements.
Earlier in the global trading session, gold prices gained as investors sought safe-haven assets amid renewed geopolitical tensions. Market sentiment was influenced by reports that US President Donald Trump reinstated a blockade on Iranian vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
The development raised concerns about potential disruptions to global oil supplies and the possibility of higher inflation. Such uncertainties typically increase investor interest in gold, which is often viewed as a store of value during periods of market stress.
Despite early gains, international gold prices later retreated and slipped below the key $4,000-an-ounce level. The reversal followed comments from US Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller, who indicated that an interest rate increase remains as likely as a rate cut if inflation stays elevated.
Higher interest rates generally reduce the attractiveness of non-yielding assets such as gold because investors can earn returns from interest-bearing instruments. A stronger US dollar and rising Treasury yields can also create additional pressure on precious metal prices, influencing global market sentiment.
