Gold Rises, Silver Shows Mixed Trend in Early Trade Across India

Brief By Newsbrief / 2:01 PM on 01 Apr 2026

Gold prices witnessed an upward trend across major Indian cities on April 1, rising by around ₹439 per 10 grams in early trading. The increase reflects continued investor preference for safe-haven assets amid market uncertainty and recent volatility in equities.

In contrast, silver prices displayed mixed movement during the session. The metal initially declined but later recovered partially, indicating intraday fluctuations driven by profit booking and shifting demand. On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), gold futures also recorded gains, reinforcing bullish sentiment.

Across cities, gold prices varied slightly, with Patna reporting relatively lower rates compared to cities like Bhopal and Indore. Silver followed a similar pattern, showing minor regional differences.

Market analysts suggest that the divergence between gold and silver trends highlights cautious investor behavior. While gold continues to attract buyers for stability, silver remains sensitive to short-term market dynamics and speculative trading pressures.
