GOLD PRICE TODAY: EXPERT OPINIONS
Manoj Kumar Jain, Director Prithvi Finmart, a senior financial market expert, said:
“On Tuesday, gold and silver were settled on a mixed note in the international markets. Gold April futures contracts were settled at $5,176.30 per troy ounce, down by 0.94%, while silver March futures contracts were settled at $87.506 per troy ounce, up by 1.08%.
Domestic markets were settled on a weaker note. Gold April futures contract settled at Rs1,59,969 per 10 grams with a loss of 1.01% and silver March futures contract settled at Rs2,60,744 per kilogram with a loss of 1.73%.
Gold and silver prices show profit-taking from their high in a highly volatile session ahead of U.S. President Trump’s speech. Gold prices slipped from a 3-week high, while silver showed some uptick after the reopening of the Chinese markets. The U.S. President’s global tariff of 10% came into effect from Monday and increased uncertainty in global trade once again.
Markets are also looking cautious ahead of the U.S. and Iran scheduled talks on 26th February at Geneva on the nuclear deal. The dollar index is also trading steady above 97 marks and limiting gains of both precious metals. However, U.S. tariff uncertainty and geopolitical tensions could support the prices of precious metals.“
Manoj Kumar Jain View for Today (For Gold and Silver) | 25/02/2026
“We are experiencing very high price volatility in both precious metals, but silver prices could hold their support level of USD 68.00 per troy ounce, and gold prices could also hold their support level of USD 4,880 per troy ounce on a closing basis this week.
