As of Octoer 7, 2025, MCX Gold Futures 

Indian gold prices reached a new all-time high on October 7, 2025. MCX Gold December futures (05 December 2025 contract) gained to ₹1,20,769 per 10 grams, and the Gold Mini November contract was ₹1,19,616. This drastic increase is largely attributed to high demand on safe-havens, as investors resort to gold in times of uncertainty in the global economy and political situation.

Also, expectations that the US Federal Reserve would soon make a reduction in interest rates have enhanced the attractiveness of gold.

In situations when interest is lowered, the attraction of gold is increased, as gold does not receive any interest. Besides that, domestic pricing is also being influenced by the value of the US dollar and fluctuations in the value of the Indian rupee.

As tensions increase in the world economy, and the money markets, it is likely that gold will remain a commodity demanded and it could rise in price. Gold is continuing to gain traction in a mercurial world and investors are observing keenly.

As of Octoer 7, 2025, Silver Futures Prices On The MCX

Silver futures on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) are moving well as of October 7, 2025, the Big Silver contract is at ₹1,47,600 and the Silver Mini (November contract) at ₹1,44,866. The prices of silver are affected by both international and local forces.

Silver is traded internationally on the COMEX and responds to US dollar fluctuations, particularly the USD/INR. The prices are still supported by industrial demand, especially from electronics and solar energy.

Moreover, silver is regarded as a safe-haven asset during periods of economic uncertainty, which increases the demand to invest in it. The local purchases are also boosted by the festive and wedding season in India. On the supply side, the world production of the mines influences the quantity of silver in the market.

These forces combined are creating the current trend of silver and may be able to keep prices high in the future. Investors are keenly following the trend with silver keeping pace with gold amid the global uncertainties.
