Gold prices in India stood at Rs 1,49,170 per 10 gm, while silver was at Rs 2,23,860 per kg on Thursday, Oct. 1. 22K gold, on the other hand, stood at Rs 1,36,739 per 10 gm while silver 925 sterling was at Rs 2,07,071 per kg, as per Bullion.co.in around 7:50 a.m. today.
On Wednesday, Sept. 30, gold Dec. futures rose above the 1,51,000 mark; however, they settled at Rs 1,49,036 on the Multi Commodity Exchange at the close of the session. Meanwhile, silver declined to Rs 2,23,500 during the session and finally ended the session at Rs 2,23,740 per kg on Wednesday.
Gold prices initially rose in the previous session owing to softer-than-expected US inflation data, owing to easing overall market expectations of another Fed rate hike in the near term. However, the gains faded later in the session as higher Treasury yields, stalled US-Iran peace talks, and higher energy prices weighed on the metal.
