Gold, silver: Prices fell slightly across major metros

Gold, silver: Prices fell slightly across major metros

Gold and silver prices in India on June 5, 2026, fell slightly across major cities, as global markets reacted to geopolitical tensions in West Asia and mixed signals from the US dollar. Precious metals, which are traditionally considered safe-haven assets, have not shown sharp upside, indicating cautious investor sentiment and stable domestic demand.

As per the latest retail market rates, 24-carat gold is trading at around ₹15,610 per gram, while 22-carat gold is priced at around ₹14,309 per gram. Silver prices are hovering close to ₹2,79,900 per kilogram in the domestic bullion market.  Prices vary slightly across cities due to local taxes, transportation costs, and jewellers’ margins.

It is worth noting that gold prices in India are mainly influenced by international bullion rates, rupee-dollar movements, import duties, and seasonal jewellery demand. With the wedding and festive season approaching in some regions, retail demand remains stable, preventing sharp corrections in prices.

Silver continues to trade at elevated levels compared to long-term averages, supported by industrial demand as well as investment buying. Unlike gold, silver prices are more sensitive to global manufacturing trends, making the metal more volatile during uncertain economic conditions.
