Gold and silver prices: The price of the yellow metal in India’s retail market declined on Thursday, 9 July, amid negative global cues and rising tensions between the US and Iran, following sustained US strikes against Iran.
Both 24-karat and 22-karat gold rates are showing a marginal decline across major cities. Silver prices, on the other hand, also dropped in the domestic bullion market.
MCX gold rate on 9 July was trading 0.15% lower at ₹143,940 per 10 grams. MCX silver futures, on the other hand, were trading about 0.39% lower at ₹222,450 per kg at around 9:08 am.
Oil prices rose on Thursday after fresh strikes by the US military on Iran raised concerns about supply disruptions in the Middle East. Futures for international benchmark Brent crude for September delivery advanced 1.03% to $78.82 a barrel. US West Texas Intermediate futures for August rose 1.06% to $74.29 per barrel. Prices have risen more than 4% on Wednesday.
