New Delhi/Patna: Gold prices registered a marginal increase on Monday, June 23, while silver prices eased slightly across major Indian markets, according to early market trends and the previous trading session’s closing rates.
The increase in gold prices was modest, with both 24-carat and 22-carat gold gaining Rs 10 per 10 grams. Silver, however, continued its downward trend, slipping by Rs 100 per kilogram.
Despite Monday’s uptick, gold remains approximately 6% below the levels seen at the beginning of June, while silver has corrected by more than 10% during the month.
Gold Prices Rise Marginally
The price of 24-carat gold increased to Rs 1,46,520 per 10 grams, while 22-carat gold was trading at Rs 1,34,310 per 10 grams.
Market analysts attributed the limited movement to cautious investor sentiment and a lack of major triggers in international bullion markets.
