  "content": "Rising friction between the US and Iran is feeding straight into the movement of precious metals. On Tuesday, both gold and silver traded comfortably in the green on MCX, riding solid gains through the morning. Around 11 a.m., gold was up 0.95 percent while silver had already leapt 1.50 percent. The deepening situation in West Asia has pushed investors toward safe-haven assets, and both gold and silver reaped the benefit. Tellingly, even as the metals shone, the domestic stock market opened lower for a second straight day, sinking into the red.\n\n \n\nGold Holds Firm\n By roughly 11 a.m. on Tuesday, gold for August 5 delivery had climbed 1,331 rupees, or 0.95 percent, to 1,41,640 rupees per 10 grams. It had opened strongly too, gaining 640 rupees to start at 1,40,649 rupees per 10 grams, after closing at 1,40,309 rupees per 10 grams on Monday. At the time of writing, gold had swung between an intraday high of 1,41,646 rupees and an intraday low of 1,40,796 rupees per 10 grams.\n\n \n\nSilver Stages a Sharp Rally\n The real fireworks came in silver. The contract for September 4 delivery was trading up 3,272 rupees, or 1.50 percent, at 2,20,990 rupees per kilogram. Silver had opened with a gain of 615 rupees at 2,18,333 rupees per kilogram, after finishing Monday at 2,17,718 rupees per kilogram. By the time this was written, silver had ranged from an intraday high of 2,21,005 rupees to an intraday low of 2,17,923 rupees per kilogram.\n\n \n\nMetals Had Slipped in Monday's Spot Market\n A day before this futures rally, the spot market told the opposite story. On Monday, both gold and silver prices eased in Delhi's bullion market. Gold of 99.9 percent purity dropped 1,500 rupees to 1,47,000 rupees per 10 grams, having closed at 1,48,500 rupees per 10 grams the previous Friday.\n\n Silver was equally soft on Monday. In Delhi's bullion market it fell 2,000 rupees to 2,35,000 rupees per kilogram, down from its Friday close of 2,37,000 rupees per kilogram. In other words, after Monday's dip, precious metals found their footing again in Tuesday's futures trade. Market watchers suggest that as long as tensions persist in West Asia, gold and silver will keep drawing support as safe-haven bets, and their prices could remain volatile in the sessions ahead.\n\nWhat this means for you\n• For investors: The rally in gold and silver signals rising safe-haven demand, so watching the price swings closely matters before making any purchase.\n• For buyers: With futures gold climbing to 1,41,640 rupees per 10 grams and silver to 2,20,990 rupees per kilogram, buying jewellery or coins could turn costlier.\n\nQuestions & Answers\n\n1.
