Gold and Silver Prices in India on 29 March 2026: Silver Sees Marginal Dip, Gold Holds Steady
Gold and silver prices in India remained largely flat on Sunday, 29 March 2026, as global cues kept markets in a wait-and-watch mode. The precious metals market continues to be influenced by geopolitical tensions involving the Israel-US-Iran conflict, elevated US Treasury yields, volatile crude oil prices, a strong US Dollar (USD), and the continued hawkish stance of the US Federal Reserve and other central banks. Despite these pressures, gold prices have shown resilience, while silver has witnessed marginal softness. On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), gold closed at ₹1,47,270 per 10 grams on Friday, marking a strong recovery of over ₹17,500 from recent lows. Meanwhile, silver settled at ₹2,27,750 per kg, declining slightly by around ₹204.

Michael Saylor may have gone all-in on Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC ), but his path there, as he describes, was riddled with “despair” and self-doubt.
