Gold Prices Slip as Equity Markets Rally; Silver Also Down

Mumbai, August 25 (TNA) Gold prices weakened on Monday, August 25, 2025, as investors shifted focus to equities after the US Federal Reserve hinted at rate cuts, boosting Asian and domestic markets.

On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), gold fell by ₹57 per 10 grams, trading at ₹1,00,327 around 10:30 a.m., compared to Sunday’s close of ₹1,00,384. According to the India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA), 24-carat gold was priced at ₹99,360 per 10 grams on Friday, August 22.

Silver, too, saw a dip in prices. On MCX, silver was trading at ₹1,16,002 per kg, down ₹234 from the previous session. IBJA data showed silver at ₹1,12,690 per kg last Friday.

Experts note that gold and silver prices are influenced by factors like the dollar-rupee exchange rate, import duties, inflation, global market trends, and domestic demand.

International uncertainties such as wars, economic slowdowns, or interest rate shifts often push investors toward gold as a safe-haven asset. In India, cultural demand during weddings and festivals also plays a key role in shaping prices.
