Gold, silver rates today: Following the US Supreme Court's decision on tariffs and Trump's issuance of a special order imposing 15% tariffs on all trade partners, the market is buzzing with trade uncertainty. This is expected to fuel gold and silver as safe-haven demand, as seen in early-morning Asian markets.
Investors are expected to remain vigilant about the developments in the US-Iran talks. Despite the scheduled next round of US-Iran talks on Thursday this week, tension in the Middle East is very high as both sides are blaming one another for their inability to clinch a consensus.

“The COMEX silver rate today is in $70 to $88 per ounce range, whereas the COMEX gold rate today is in $4,850 to $5,200 per ounce range.

Strong buying interest is evident in the ₹2,25,000– ₹2,35,000 support band, aligned with prior swing lows and longer-term structural support. A sustained hold above this base, followed by a decisive recovery, could revive upward momentum toward ₹3,00,000– ₹3,25,000. Dips toward support continue to offer accumulation opportunities for positional traders, though a decisive break below these levels could accelerate downside pressure and extend the correction.
