Gold and silver nudged higher on October 23 in India’s bullion market, offering a brief relief after a week of global market uncertainty. But the mood remains watchful, as international developments continue to influence domestic trading.
In India, gold mini November futures hovered around ₹1,21,873 per 10 grams, while silver mini November futures touched ₹1,48,148 per kg. These modest gains, though encouraging, barely offset the sharp global declines seen recently. Traders are keeping a close eye on every movement, balancing short-term shifts with the bigger market picture.

Global Gold and Silver Movements
Looking at the global scene, gold has cooled off after a meteoric rally that brought it close to $4,000 per ounce. Traders worldwide are stepping back, letting the market stabilize and catch its breath.
- Near-term support: $3,800–$3,670
- Near-term resistance: $4,190–$4,260
This indicates a period of consolidation, where prices may stabilize before the next major move. Silver is following a similar trajectory, with slightly higher swings, making it a watch-and-wait metal for now.
Meanwhile, in India, the festival season winding down is expected to ease physical demand for bullion, adding another layer of short-term market caution. With seasonal buying slowing, domestic trading volumes may soften over the coming weeks.
Short-Term Volatility, Long-Term Pulse
In the short term, the market shows profit booking and consolidation, as prices adjust after recent record highs. But behind these day-to-day fluctuations, several factors continue to underpin bullion movements:
- Central bank purchases are steadily boosting baseline demand.
- Global economic uncertainty keeps gold and silver in the spotlight as safe-haven assets.
- Interest rate expectations make holding bullion slightly more attractive.
The market is currently in a phase of adjustment, responding to both domestic and international cues. Traders are watching closely how prices react to every shift in demand and sentiment, balancing short-term movements with longer-term trends.
Takeaways
Here’s what stands out in today’s bullion market:
- Delicate balance: Small domestic gains meet global caution, while long-term factors quietly support prices.
- Domestic influence: Seasonal demand, profit booking, and trading volumes shape short-term movements.
- Global cues: International rallies and corrections continue to guide Indian prices.
Even amid short-term dips, bullion remains in the spotlight. Every tick in gold and silver futures reflects the mix of domestic buying trends, global pressure, and market sentiment.
