Gold and silver prices in India continue to be under pressure on February 2nd, even after the Union Budget 2026 announcements. On Monday, MCX gold dropped by 2% and struggled to hold around Rs 1.40 lakh and MCX silver price plunged nearly 6% while trying to breath around Rs 2.50 lakh per 1Kg mark. This performance is due to appetite for safe haven assets falling sharply on a global level.
In the international market, Spot gold has plunged by over 4% and is below $4,700 per ounce, while spot silver declined nearly 7% to below $80 per ounce.
The latest reason to topple precious metals is the last week's market rout which was fuelled after US President Donald Trump nominated Kevin Warsh to become the chair of US Federal Reserve. Warsh is known for more hawkish stance, which makes dollar attractive and gold less compelling.

Gold Rates Live Updates: Spot Gold Slips Over 4
Gold slid more than 4% to below ,700 per ounce on Monday, extending losses from the prior session when the precious metal suffered its steepest fall in more than a decade. Friday’s rout was triggered by US President Donald Trump’s nomination of Kevin Warsh, widely viewed as a more hawkish choice, to lead the Federal Reserve. Profit-taking also emerged after a relentless rally that had pushed gold to record highs. That advance was fueled by strong central bank demand and the so-called debasement trade, as investors rotated into physical assets from currencies and bonds amid concerns over surging government debt, as per Trading Economics data.
