Domestic silver prices tracked weakness in global precious metals markets as international silver prices slipped toward $76 per ounce on Tuesday. Investors remained cautious amid persistent uncertainty surrounding the Middle East conflict and concerns over rising inflation.
Markets reacted carefully after US President Donald Trump suggested there could be progress toward a possible peace agreement with Iran. However, traders continue to remain skeptical about the timeline for any meaningful resolution in the region.
Silver and other precious metals have remained volatile since the escalation of the West Asia crisis earlier this year. Rising crude oil prices have intensified global inflation concerns, increasing expectations that central banks may maintain elevated interest rates for a longer period.
In the United States, stronger inflation expectations have reduced hopes for Federal Reserve rate cuts in 2026. Market participants are now closely watching whether the Fed could maintain a tighter monetary policy stance through the remainder of the year.
Investors are awaiting fresh economic cues from upcoming FOMC minutes and US PMI data, which could provide additional clarity on interest rates and economic momentum.
Across India, silver prices remained largely stable city-wise. Bangalore traded in line with Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Pune, Vadodara and Ahmedabad at ₹2,85,000 per kilogram, while Chennai, Hyderabad and Kerala continued to trade at higher levels near ₹3,00,000 per kilogram.
Bengaluru’s jewellery and bullion market continues to closely monitor global commodity movement, particularly crude oil, the US dollar index and geopolitical developments, all of which are influencing precious metal pricing trends.
Silver prices are expected to remain sensitive to inflation data, global risk sentiment and monetary policy expectations in the coming sessions.
