Gold and Silver Rate Today April 2: 24K Gold Drops Sharply to ₹1.49 Lakh, Silver Hits ₹2.29 Lakh
Gold and Silver Rate Today April 2: As the trading developed, there was an increase in the selling pressure in both precious metals. MCX gold fell by more than 2 percent and stood close to 1.50 lakh mark per 10 grams. Silver plummeted even further, by more than 12,000, or more than 5 per cent., to fall below 2.32 lakh per kilogram. This sudden correction was significantly caused by world signals such as geopolitical friction and an upsurge in the US dollar that usually has a negative impact on the price of bullion by making it costly to other currency holders. Gold and silver also fell in the global market following the positive comments of US President Donald Trump of possible military intervention on Iran. Spot gold dropped 1.3% to about 4695 per ounce and silver dropped 2.7 to about 73 per ounce. In India, according to the data of the Indian Bullion Association (IBA) at 13.10 PM, 24-carat gold was selling at 149,360 rupees per 10 grams, and 22-carat gold was priced at 135,080 rupees per 10 grams.
