Gold and Silver Prices Today in India:Gold and silver prices in India opened the new trading week under pressure, following a sharp sell-off in global markets at the end of last week that left investors watching for signs of stabilization or further volatility.
After a dramatic price correction on Friday, both metals saw selling pressure last session, with silver experiencing steeper losses than gold, according to market sources. Investors are now evaluating fresh global cues, macroeconomic data and technical support levels as markets reopen for the week.
Gold and Silver Prices Today in India
While official February 9 MCX rates are still being reported, the latest available live price trends show:
- 24-carat gold (24K) was trading around ₹1.56 lakh per 10 grams in most major Indian cities on Sunday, holding close to last session’s levels.
- Silver prices remain volatile after recent swings. Silver is trading around ₹2,642 per 10 g (≈ ₹264,219 per kg) in India.
What Happened on Friday?
Financial markets ended last week with notable weakness in precious metals:
Traders and analysts noted that silver markets corrected sharply from runaway gains seen in late January, while gold also saw a mild pull-back after recent highs.
Silver’s relative underperformance has been linked to increased profit-booking and heightened volatility, resulting in heavy price swings compared with gold.

Investor Sentiment
Market experts say the recent sharp moves reflect a classic prof-it booking cycle after extended rallies.
“Gold and silver are not immune to profit-booking and volatility, especially after reaching near-record levels,” said one commodities strategist. Many investors are waiting for clearer direction from upcoming global economic indicators, including U.S. inflation data and central bank policy updates.
Silver has shown greater price fluctuations than gold because traders are currently struggling to understand its value as both a precious metal and an industrial commodity.
Will Prices Bounce Back?
Analysts are divided:
Short-term traders monitor technical support levels which have the potential to induce price rebounds.
Precious metals serve as a reliable market hedge for long-term investors who want to protect their investments during times of increasing geopolitical risks and deteriorating market conditions.
Some forecasts expect that precious metals will strengthen later this year because of increased structural demand and global market trends yet the present price movements depend on macroeconomic developments.
