New Delhi, India – February 27, 2026
Gold and silver prices moved higher in the domestic market, reflecting continued investor interest in precious metals amid global uncertainty.
Silver recorded a sharp rise of ₹6,670, climbing to ₹2.67 lakh per kilogram. Gold prices also edged up by ₹110 to reach ₹1.60 lakh per 10 grams.
The rally comes as global bullion markets show volatility, with investors closely tracking international cues.
Global Gold and Silver Trends
In international markets, spot gold on COMEX was trading at $5,199 per ounce, slightly below the $5,200 level. Despite the marginal dip from that threshold, gold has gained 0.11 percent over the past 24 hours.
Silver traded at $89.46 per ounce in early deals, marking a strong 2.83 percent increase.
Market analysts note that fluctuations in precious metals are being influenced by macroeconomic uncertainty and shifting investor sentiment toward safe-haven assets.
Strong U.S. Dollar Limits Gains
A stronger U.S. dollar is capping the upside in gold prices. The dollar remains near a three-week high, making dollar-denominated bullion more expensive for holders of other currencies. This typically dampens overseas demand and can moderate further price increases.
Expert Outlook on Gold Prices
Brokerage estimates suggest that domestic gold prices could climb to ₹1.85 lakh per 10 grams over the next 12 months.
Analysts cite the following supportive factors:
-
Ongoing global uncertainty
-
Strong buying by central banks
-
Rising demand for safe-haven investments
Experts further believe that if geopolitical tensions intensify globally, international gold prices could potentially move toward $7,500 per ounce in the medium term.
Given current conditions, precious metals are expected to remain attractive as defensive investment options for risk-averse investors.
