Gold and silver prices remain highly volatile this week as investors closely track rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, US inflation data, crude oil prices, and central bank policy signals. In India, the government has sharply increased import duty on gold and silver from 6% to 15% to reduce imports and support the rupee, which may keep domestic bullion prices elevated in the near term. Gold recently touched around ₹1.53 lakh per 10 grams in the domestic market, while silver surged near ₹2.77 lakh per kg amid strong safe-haven demand and rupee weakness. Analysts believe precious metals may stay volatile as markets react to inflation fears, interest rate expectations, and global uncertainty
