Silver at lifetime high, hits Rs 3 lakh per kg on MCX amid global tensions
Meanwhile, silver prices surged to a fresh lifetime high on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) on Monday, with the precious white metal touching the Rs 3 lakh per kg mark during the intra-day session.
The rally was driven by strong safe-haven demand amid rising global uncertainties. The rally in silver came alongside fresh record highs in gold.
The silver futures contract on MCX for March 2026 expiry opened with a strong upside gap at Rs 2,93,100 per kg and quickly extended gains to hit an intra-day high of Rs 3,01,315 per kg.
This marked a new all-time peak for silver on the domestic exchange. Even after some profit booking from higher levels, MCX silver prices managed to trade firmly and sustain above the crucial Rs 3 lakh per kg zone.
Gold prices also witnessed a sharp move higher. The gold futures contract on MCX for February 2026 expiry opened at Rs 1,43,321 per 10 grams and touched an intra-day high of Rs 1,45,500 per 10 grams within minutes of the opening bell.
Although prices later cooled off slightly, gold continued to trade at elevated levels, showing resilience after mild profit-taking.
In the international market, COMEX gold prices are finding immediate support near USD 4,620 per ounce, while a stronger support zone is placed around USD 4,580 per ounce.
On the upside, analysts see potential targets at USD 4,730 and USD 4,780 per ounce if momentum continues.
