Internationally, gold trades softer as the stronger US dollar pressures commodities denominated in the currency, although safe‑haven demand linked to the Middle East conflict continues, leaving spot gold around $5,133 per ounce, while 24K, 22K and 18K equivalents hover near $166.40, $152.50 and $124.90 per gram respectively.

Recent intraday movements for the front‑month Comex gold contract (GCW00) show prices fluctuating between $5,074.60 and $5,098.90, with trades recorded at $5,120 on 12 March at 1:00 pm, $5,110 at 5:00 pm, $5,095 at midnight on 13 March and $5,093 at 4:00 am, leaving daily change at about ‑0.63% on volume of 1,927 lots.

Silver Price Today domestic and global

Silver faces steeper losses than gold on 13 March 2026, as the metal trades around ₹2.80 lakh per kilogram in major northern and western Indian centres, down from ₹2.90 lakh on 12 March, representing a daily decline of ₹10,000 per kilogram across common retail units.

At the global level, spot silver softens by about 2.20% under pressure from a stronger dollar, with benchmark prices near $83.85 per troy ounce, translating to roughly $2.70 per gram and $2,694.00 per kilogram, while traders also react to changing expectations about potential US Federal Reserve interest rate cuts.

Silver Price Today trends and investor view

Domestic silver quotes across India display a broad markdown, with 1 gram now at ₹280 versus ₹290 earlier, 10 grams at ₹2,800, 100 grams at ₹28,000 and 1 kilogram at ₹2,80,000, showing consistent reductions across all slabs in line with the ₹10,000 per kilogram fall from 12 March 2026.

City‑wise silver data confirm that northern hubs such as Delhi and Mumbai hold around ₹2,80,000 per kilogram, whereas southern markets including Chennai, Hyderabad and Kerala command ₹2,90,000, reflecting a regional premium of ₹10,000 per kilogram linked to higher cultural and industrial demand in those areas.

International silver futures (SIW00) mirror this softer tone, with trades recorded at $85.50 on 12 March at 1:00 pm, $85.00 at 5:00 pm, $84.20 at midnight on 13 March and $84.41 at 4:00 am, producing a daily move of about ‑0.82%, on volume of 452 and open interest of 77,860 contracts.

For both metals, currency strength remains central, as the firmer dollar raises costs for buyers using other currencies, while Middle East tensions continue to underpin safe‑haven demand; in silver, the dollar factor dominates, whereas for gold, geopolitical stress provides a stronger offset to currency pressure.

Indian investors weighing allocations see gold and silver offering revised entry points, with gold advised as 5‑15% of portfolios and systematic investments via gold or silver exchange‑traded funds and digital platforms providing diversification and liquidity, while traders track support and resistance bands near $5,050‑$5,150 for international gold and $82‑$86 for silver, and around ₹2.70‑₹2.90 lakh domestically for silver.
