Gold and silver prices showed little movement on Thursday as investors closely tracked the ongoing geopolitical tensions involving Iran, Israel, and the United States.
The price of 24-carat gold stood steady at ₹1,43,985 per 10 grams, while 22-carat gold was recorded at ₹1,31,890. The stability in prices reflects a wait-and-watch approach in the market amid uncertainty over possible de-escalation in the region.

What’s driving the market?
Globally, gold prices held firm near $4,503 per ounce, while US gold futures saw a slight dip. Other metals such as silver, platinum, and palladium also recorded minor declines.
Market experts say gold is currently reacting to geopolitical developments. The uncertainty around negotiations—especially after Donald Trump’s reported ceasefire push and Iran’s response—has kept investors cautious.
For now, analysts believe gold prices will remain sensitive to any major updates from the Middle East, with safe-haven demand supporting stability in the short term.
