MCX gold and silver trade higher as dollar weakens and geopolitical uncertainty persists

Gold and silver prices rose as the US dollar weakened and geopolitical uncertainty continued to support bullion demand, analysts said. The move comes at a time when precious metals often draw attention as investors and market participants look for assets that are more closely tied to global risk sentiment and currency moves than to day-to-day equity market swings.

Global factors were driving interest in precious metals, according to analysts, who pointed to the combination of a softer dollar and a broader risk backdrop as key reasons behind the price rally. With the dollar under pressure, bullion can become relatively more attractive to buyers using other currencies, while ongoing geopolitical uncertainty keeps focus on metals as a commonly watched safe-haven asset.
