Gold futures on the MCX surged Rs 791 to Rs 1,21,313 per 10 grams on Thursday, supported by firm global cues and a weaker dollar. Silver followed suit, gaining Rs 1,251 per kg as global prices rose above USD 4,000 per ounce

Gold surged to a record Rs 1.17 lakh per 10 grams on the MCX, tracking global gains as investors sought safe-haven assets amid looming US government shutdown risks, fresh tariffs, and expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts. Silver also hit lifetime highs
Gold prices hit a record high of ₹1,05,937 per 10 grams on MCX, driven by global bullish sentiment, festive demand, and US rate cut expectations. Comex gold also soared to a lifetime high, further fueling domestic market momentum
