The Precious metals, gold and silver, extended their price losses in MCX trading on Friday, October 24, 2025. This reflecting a sharp reversal after a recent rally. Easing global trade tensions prompted bullion traders to reduce their positions, triggering profit booking and further declines in both metals.
Gold Price Crash After Brief Rally
Gold futures on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) tumbled ₹2,704 per 10 grams (2.2%) to hit a session low of ₹1,21,400. This marked the fourth decline in six sessions, with gold shedding 4.42% of its value and heading for its first weekly loss in nine weeks. Analysts attribute the sell-off to investors cashing out gains ahead of anticipated US inflation data and renewed optimism over trade talks between the United States and China.
Silchar Gold Price: 22K Gold
On 21 October 1 gram Gold Price was Rs 12,225 and it drop Rs, 11,825 on 22 October. On 23 October it was Rs, 11,620 and today (25 October) is Rs. 11, 670.
Silver Falls Sharply Amid Selling Pressure
Mirroring the weakness in gold, MCX silver futures dropped by ₹3,432 per kilogram (2.3%) to touch ₹1,45,080 per kilogram. Silver has slumped in four of the past five sessions, losing an overall 11.5% due to heavy selling.
Silchar Silver Price: 1 Gram
On 21 October 1 gram Silver Price was Rs 188 and it drop Rs, 180 on 22 October. On 23 October it was Rs, 174 and today (25 October) is Rs 170.
Why Are Gold and Silver Price Falling?
The decline in precious metals is largely driven by improving sentiment around US-China trade relations. The US has confirmed a summit between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping on October 30, fanning hopes that trade tensions will ease. Also, analysts like Jateen Trivedi (LKP Securities) point out that profit booking from overbought levels over the last few sessions, coupled with expectation of US economic data, has weighed on metal prices. The ongoing US government shutdown and uncertainty in international negotiations are also keeping investors cautious.
Price Trend and Outlook
In spite of the present pullback, MCX gold prices are 60% higher in 2025, driven by geopolitical tensions, hopes for rate cuts, historic central bank purchases, and robust ETF inflows. Prices for silver have jumped 67% year to date, backed by London supply constraints, all-time backwardation, and record lease rates.
Analysts foresee on-going volatility in precious metals. Gold is likely to trade between ₹1,18,000 and ₹1,25,500 in the near term with a downwardly biased outlook until better clarity on macroeconomic progress.
