Gold price today: Check Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai gold rates

Gold prices traded higher in early deals on Friday. The gains came after US President Donald Trump claimed that the conflict involving Iran was “settled, subject to finalisation,” and said he expected an agreement to be signed in the “next few days.”

The gold and silver prices were up, with precious metals extending gains on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX).

Silver also witnessed gains during the session. MCX silver futures were up ₹2291 at ₹2,43,720 per kilogram.

The rise in metal prices comes after weeks of uncertainty triggered by the conflict involving the US, Israel and Iran. Investors have closely monitored developments in the region, as geopolitical tensions often influence demand for assets like gold.

Speaking about the developments, the US President said the conflict was settled “subject to finalisation” and added that he expected a deal to be signed “over the next few days.”

The comments fuelled hopes that normal shipping operations through the Strait of Hormuz could resume if an agreement materialises.

However, investors continue to await official confirmation and further developments surrounding the proposed agreement. A possible agreement could change the dramatic fluctuations in gold price.
