In early trade following the festive break, gold prices plunged by ₹4,300 per 10 grams, while silver prices crashed by a massive ₹13,700 per kilogram. The steep decline happened because MCX opened its evening session after remaining closed throughout the day because of Ram Navami festivities
Live market data shows that gold futures experienced a decline of more than 2.4% which brought prices to approximately ₹1.40–1.41 lakh per 10 grams while silver prices decreased by almost 6% which resulted in prices of around ₹2.24 lakh per kg. The fall represents one of the most significant declines that occurred during a single trading session in the previous weeks.
Volatility Continues After Recent Rally
The market experienced its first drop after bullion markets had their strongest trading day on the previous day. The MCX gold price reached ₹1.47 lakh per 10 grams on March 25 while silver prices increased to almost ₹2.35 lakh per kilogram. The market experiences continuous price changes because traders base their decisions on international events and currency price changes and worldwide news reports.
“The recent global market cues have provided renewed safe-haven demand for gold, and investors are adding positions cautiously due to ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty. Although volatility is expected in the near term, overall sentiment is favourable, as markets are closely watching inflation and central banks for direction,” said Aksha Kamboj, Vice President, IBJA.
The latest drop in prices forms part of the extended market decline which has persisted since March 2026. Gold prices have already dropped from their highest monthly value because the dollar gained strength and investors adopted a cautious approach.

Expert Outlook: Buy The Dip or Stay Cautious?
Market specialists present conflicting predictions about market conditions which will develop during the upcoming months after the market experienced a major downturn.
“It is gaining due to positive global sentiment and a weak dollar. Along with its safe-haven aspect, industrial expectations for silver are also contributing to its positive movement. However, there is a possibility of intermittent volatility. Nevertheless, the overall sentiment is cautiously optimistic with positive macroeconomic indicators,” said Aksha Kamboj, VP at IBJA.
Some analysts believe the current market correction needs to advance further until prices reach the main support levels before they should start buying. Others predict that market fluctuations will continue until there is better understanding of both US Federal Reserve actions and international political situations.
