For retail buyers, the price of 10 grams of silver stood near ₹2,849.

With precious metal prices witnessing continuous fluctuations in recent weeks, many investors and jewellery buyers are closely tracking daily bullion market movements before making purchases.

Silver Prices Stay Stable Across Major North Indian Cities

Market data showed that silver rates remained flat in most northern and western Indian cities during Tuesday’s trading session.

The latest silver price for 1 kilogram was approximately:

  • Delhi — ₹2,84,900
  • Mumbai — ₹2,84,900
  • Ahmedabad — ₹2,84,900
  • Lucknow — ₹2,84,900
  • Chandigarh — ₹2,84,900
  • Jaipur — ₹2,84,900
  • Kolkata — ₹2,84,900
  • Bhopal — ₹2,84,900

The stable pricing trend indicates relatively balanced demand and supply conditions in domestic bullion markets.

Silver Prices Higher in South India

Compared to northern states, silver prices continued to trade at higher levels in parts of South India.

Latest rates included:

  • Chennai — ₹2,94,900 per kilogram
  • Kerala — ₹2,94,900 per kilogram
  • Hyderabad — around ₹2,94,900 per kilogram

Experts say transportation costs, regional demand differences, local taxes, and market dynamics often contribute to price variations between cities.

Gold Prices Witness Volatility

While silver prices remained mostly flat, gold prices showed mixed movement on Tuesday.

Internationally, spot gold prices declined nearly 0.7% and traded around $4,537.54 per ounce. Meanwhile, US gold futures for June delivery traded slightly higher near $4,538.50 per ounce.

Despite weakness in global gold markets, domestic gold prices in India witnessed some strength.

In Delhi, the latest gold rates were reported as:

  • 24-carat gold — ₹15,953 per gram
  • 22-carat gold — ₹14,625 per gram
  • 18-carat gold — ₹11,964 per gram

Middle East Tensions Influencing Bullion Markets

Analysts say precious metal prices are currently being influenced by geopolitical developments involving the United States and Iran.

Reports suggest discussions regarding a possible agreement are taking place in Doha, the capital of Qatar, between representatives linked to both countries.

At the same time, military developments in southern Iran, including reported strikes targeting missile launch locations and boats, have increased uncertainty in global commodity markets.

These geopolitical tensions have contributed to volatility in:

  • Gold prices
  • Crude oil prices
  • Currency markets
  • Inflation expectations

Crude Oil and Dollar Movement Affect Precious Metals

Commodity experts explain that bullion prices often react sharply to changes in:

  • Crude oil prices
  • US dollar strength
  • Interest rate expectations
  • Global conflict situations

Higher crude oil prices can increase inflation fears globally, which sometimes supports demand for safe-haven assets such as gold and silver.

Meanwhile, fluctuations in the US dollar also impact international bullion prices because gold and silver are globally traded in dollar-denominated markets.

Investors Watching Market Closely

Bullion traders believe precious metal prices may remain volatile in the coming days due to:

  • Ongoing geopolitical tensions
  • US Federal Reserve policy expectations
  • Dollar index movement
  • Crude oil price fluctuations

Retail buyers planning gold or silver purchases are therefore being advised to monitor daily price changes carefully before making large investments.

Silver Still Popular Among Retail Buyers

Despite rising prices over the past year, silver continues to remain highly popular among Indian buyers for:

  • Jewellery purchases
  • Investment purposes
  • Festival buying
  • Industrial demand
  • Wedding-related purchases

Experts say silver demand often increases further during festive and wedding seasons, especially in physical bullion markets.
