Gold and silver prices traded higher on Friday, 3 July 2026, supported by a weaker US dollar and growing expectations that the US Federal Reserve could adopt a more accommodative monetary policy after softer-than-expected US labour market data. Renewed safe-haven demand and improving investor sentiment also helped precious metals extend their gains across both domestic and international markets.
On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), gold futures climbed above ₹1.45 lakh per 10 grams, while silver futures traded above ₹2.29 lakh per kilogram. In the retail market, 24-carat gold hovered around ₹1.48 lakh per 10 grams across major Indian cities, while silver prices remained between ₹2.45 lakh and ₹2.50 lakh per kg, depending on the region.
Despite the rally, physical demand in India remained subdued as elevated bullion prices discouraged jewellery purchases during the current lean buying season. Investors are now closely monitoring upcoming US economic data, Federal Reserve commentary, movements in the US Dollar Index (DXY), and global geopolitical developments for further direction in gold and silver prices.

Global bullion prices continued to strengthen as weaker US labour market data pressured the US dollar and increased expectations that the Federal Reserve could adopt a more dovish policy stance. Lower bond yields and renewed safe-haven buying further supported precious metals.
Spot gold traded near US$4,190 per ounce, while spot silver remained above US$62 per ounce. Investors also continued to monitor geopolitical developments and global inflation trends, both of which remain key drivers of precious metal prices.

| Spot Silver | US$62.75/oz |
The current rally in gold and silver is being driven by a combination of macroeconomic and geopolitical factors. Softer-than-expected US employment data has strengthened expectations that the Federal Reserve may adopt a more accommodative approach toward interest rates, reducing the appeal of the US dollar and increasing demand for non-yielding assets such as gold.
At the same time, the decline in the Dollar Index has made bullion more attractive for global investors. Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) backed by gold have also witnessed steady inflows, reflecting improving investor confidence amid persistent economic uncertainty.
However, higher domestic prices have started affecting physical demand in India. Jewellers across major markets have reported slower customer footfall as many buyers postpone purchases in anticipation of better price levels. Seasonal weakness ahead of the festive buying period has further weighed on jewellery demand despite the strong investment interest.
Looking ahead, the direction of bullion prices will largely depend on US inflation data, Federal Reserve commentary, the movement of the US dollar, and geopolitical developments in the Middle East. Any further weakness in the dollar could provide additional support to precious metals.
The biggest trigger remains weaker-than-expected US economic data, which has increased expectations of lower interest rates in the coming months. A weaker US dollar has improved the attractiveness of gold and silver for international investors.
Renewed safe-haven demand amid geopolitical uncertainty has also supported bullion prices. In addition, continued ETF inflows and resilient central bank purchases remain positive long-term factors for precious metals.
On the downside, elevated domestic prices have reduced jewellery demand across India, with many consumers preferring to wait for price corrections before making fresh purchases.
| Level | Price |
|---|---|
| Immediate Support | ₹1,44,500 |
| Strong Support | ₹1,43,000 |
| Immediate Resistance | ₹1,47,000 |
| Major Resistance | ₹1,48,500 |
| Level | Price |
|---|---|
| Immediate Support | ₹2,27,000 |
| Strong Support | ₹2,24,000 |
| Immediate Resistance | ₹2,32,000 |
| Major Resistance | ₹2,35,000 |
Investors should closely monitor several key indicators that could influence bullion prices over the coming weeks.
These factors are expected to determine whether gold can sustain its rally above current levels or witness profit booking.
Analysts expect gold and silver to remain well supported as long as expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts continue to strengthen and the US dollar remains under pressure. Safe-haven demand could also remain elevated if geopolitical tensions persist.
However, domestic physical demand may continue to stay weak in the near term due to historically high prices. Investors are likely to adopt a cautious approach until there is greater clarity on US monetary policy and global economic conditions.
For MCX traders, the ₹1.44 lakh–₹1.45 lakh zone is likely to act as an important support area for gold, while silver is expected to remain volatile above ₹2.27 lakh per kg. A sustained break above resistance levels could trigger another leg of the rally.

Gold prices are rising due to a weaker US dollar, softer US employment data, increased expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts, and renewed safe-haven demand.
MCX Gold August Futures are trading around ₹1,45,723 per 10 grams.
Silver is benefiting from improving global investor sentiment, a weaker US dollar, and expectations of easier monetary policy in the United States.
Long-term investors may continue accumulating gradually, while short-term traders should closely monitor US economic data, Federal Reserve policy announcements, and technical support and resistance levels.
Retail gold prices vary because of differences in state taxes, transportation costs, dealer premiums, and making charges charged by jewellers.
