Gold and silver prices commenced the day with a slight decline on the Multi Commodity Exchange on Wednesday, even as optimism surrounding a potential U.S.-Iran peace agreement has tempered expectations for additional U.S. interest rate increases. Investors are keenly anticipating further information regarding the proposed deal as well as the results of the Federal Reserve’s policy meeting. In the domestic market, MCX silver futures for July 2026 delivery experienced a decline of Rs 864 (0.3%), settling at Rs 2,49,241 per kg. Gold futures for August 2026 delivery experienced a slight decrease, settling at Rs 1,52,472 per 10 grams. In the previous session, gold concluded on an upward trajectory, whereas silver finished lower.
Markets continued to evaluate the specifics of the interim U.S.-Iran agreement designed to resolve the Middle East conflict. U.S. President Donald Trump asserted that the agreement would inhibit Tehran’s pursuit of a nuclear weapon, whereas a U.S. official suggested that Iran would be permitted to recommence oil sales upon the signing of the accord. Meanwhile, oil prices hovered close to a three-month low, driven by expectations that Iranian crude might re-enter global markets, thereby alleviating inflationary concerns. In the international market, spot gold increased by 0.3% to $4,341.12 per ounce as of 0230, approaching the one-week high reached on Monday.
