AI desk brief

Gold and silver edged higher in India on 26 October, with 24K gold at ₹1,42,810/10g and silver at ₹1,97,300/kg on MCX, after a sharp global selloff left bullion near three-month lows. Spot gold fell 0.6% to $3,998.49/oz and is down 4% on the week, its worst weekly drop since June, as higher energy prices stoked inflation fears and kept Fed rate expectations elevated ahead of the policy meeting.

Domestic retail rates were listed across major Indian cities, with 24K gold around ₹142,300-₹142,780/10g and silver 999 around ₹196,330-₹196,980/kg. The piece is mainly a price check, but the key market takeaway is that the global bullion correction remains tied to firmer real-rate expectations rather than local demand.
