Silver and gold prices bounced back on Monday, catching investors’ attention after a volatile stretch in the global markets. Silver jumped by over Rs 5,000 on the MCX, while gold rose by nearly Rs 2,000, supported by improving global sentiment and expectations linked to US–Iran peace talks.
However, the recovery has once again brought a familiar market question into focus: is it time to buy or sell?
Bullion prices recovered as progress in US–Iran peace negotiations improved overall risk sentiment in global markets. Reports suggesting that talks are moving in a more constructive direction helped ease geopolitical concerns, which in turn supported buying interest in metals.
At the time of writing around 3:30 pm, MCX stood at Rs 2,38,202, up by Rs 5,017, while MCX was at Rs 1,49,050, rising by Rs 1,847.
The shift reflects how sensitive precious metals remain to global political developments, especially when investors reassess safe-haven demand.
Silver opened with a gap-up move and continued to attract buyers, although analysts warn that resistance levels remain important to watch.
Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, said, “MCX Silver opened with a gap up near the Rs 2,37,000 mark, reflecting resilient price action despite ongoing volatility. A sustained move above the Rs 2,37,000–Rs 2,38,000 resistance zone could strengthen momentum and trigger a recovery toward the Rs 2,40,000–Rs 2,42,000 range.”
He also cautioned that downside risks remain, “On the downside, a break below Rs 2,35,000–Rs 2,34,000 could drag prices toward Rs 2,32,000 and further toward Rs 2,30,000. Overall, the near-term bias remains cautious, with prices attempting to stabilise.”
Gold also saw a surge in its prices. It opened weaker but quickly recovered, moving back towards higher resistance zones as buying interest emerged at lower levels.
Ponmudi R explained the trend, “MCX Gold opened with a gap down near the Rs 1,46,000 mark but quickly reversed toward the Rs 1,48,000–Rs 1,48,400 resistance zone, indicating buying interest at lower levels.”
The latest move in bullion shows a market still trying to find direction. While global cues have supported a rebound, both gold and silver remain close to important resistance levels.
Traders are watching whether silver can hold above Rs 2,40,000 and whether gold can reclaim the Rs 1,50,000 mark. Until then, volatility is likely to continue, making short-term positioning tricky.
For now, the trend suggests cautious optimism rather than a clear buy or sell signal, with global developments likely to decide the next big move.
