AI desk brief

Gold and silver firmed in India on Thursday, with MCX Gold 5 Nov up nearly 0.35% to ₹148,419/10g and MCX Silver 4 Dec up 0.06% to ₹223,700/kg around 9:04 am. The move was tied to a softer US dollar and renewed geopolitical risk, as US-Iran tensions and attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz continued to support safe-haven demand.

The article also notes gold’s strong 2025 rally and says silver may stay more volatile than gold because of its dual precious/industrial character.
