The rally in silver came alongside fresh record highs in gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn INR silver has support at Rs 2,85,810, 2,82,170 while resistance at Rs 2,94,810, 2,96,470,\u201d an analyst stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGold has support at Rs1,41,650-1,40,310 while resistance at Rs1,44,150-1,45,670,\u201d as per the analyst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although prices later cooled off slightly, gold continued to trade at elevated levels, showing resilience after mild profit-taking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the international market, COMEX gold prices are finding immediate support near $4,620 per ounce, while a stronger support zone is placed around $4,580 per ounce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the upside, analysts see potential targets at $4,730 and $4,780 per ounce if momentum continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back home, MCX gold is receiving support around Rs 1,42,000 and Rs 1,40,000 per 10 grams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOn the higher side, gold is facing resistance near Rs 1,48,000 per 10 grams. A decisive break above this level could push prices towards the psychological Rs 1.50 lakh per 10 grams mark in the near term,\u201d an expert said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mumbai, 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 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1361,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1360","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-display","has_thumb"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1360","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1360"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1360\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1362,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1360\/revisions\/1362"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1361"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1360"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1360"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1360"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
