Gold Prices Recover Marginally After Consecutive Declines
Market Update – March 26, 2025
Gold prices experienced a slight recovery on Wednesday following a five-day decline, as easing pressures in the US dollar and uncertainties surrounding US import tariffs helped bolster demand for the precious metal.
Gold Prices on the Rise
In major Indian cities, the price of 24K gold increased by ₹11 to ₹89,400 per 10 grams, while 22K gold was priced at ₹81,950 per 10 grams. This small uptick comes on the heels of a notable drop of ₹330 per 10 grams on Tuesday and a decline of ₹1,380 per 10 grams since last Friday.
In early Asian trading on Wednesday, spot gold advanced by 0.21%, reaching $3,030 an ounce, further suggesting a rebound in investor hopes for the yellow metal.

Week in Review: Gold and Silver Prices
Gold prices have recently seen corrections after reaching lifetime highs due to diminishing geopolitical fears and a growing appetite for riskier assets. A stronger Indian rupee also played a role in restraining gold prices. Meanwhile, silver has struggled with flat trading due to weak local demand and a recovery in the US dollar.
