Gold And Silver Watch

Gold and silver futures rose on the Multi-Commodity Exchange of India (MCX) following a drop in crude oil prices and a potential US-Iran peace deal. At 15:42, Gold June futures on the MCX stood at ₹1,59,350 per 10 grams, up 0.42%. July silver futures during the same time stood at ₹2,76,835 per kg, up 1.84%.
