Gold futures for the same expiry fell Rs 3,499 per 10 grams over the five trading days, closing at Rs 1,48,000 on 16 October against Rs 1,51,499 on 9 October. In the domestic spot market, the Indian Bullion Jewellers Association (IBJA) showed silver at Rs 2,10,918 per kg on 23 October, down Rs 10,191 from 9 October, while 10-gram gold closed at Rs 1,46,426 on 16 October, down Rs 3,004 from the prior week. Investors are advised to consult market experts before investing in gold or silver ETFs or bullion. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The sharp fall in gold and silver futures on MCX and in domestic spot markets means investors who bought near the January highs have seen deep losses, with silver now 49.7% below its record. The drop, concentrated in just five trading sessions, raises the question of whether the decline reflects a broader shift in global sentiment or a temporary correction. Both metals have further expiry dates in December, giving traders a concrete timeline to watch for a possible rebound or continued slide. ## Coverage - aajtak.in Straight price reporting with no government or political angle.
