According to analysts, despite geopolitical tensions, precious metals are not showing strong safe-haven behaviour. Similarly, MCX silver remains volatile around Rs 2,31,000–Rs 2,33,000, with resistance at Rs 2,33,000–Rs 2,34,000. Analysts said a breakout could push prices higher, while a decline below Rs 2,30,000 may accelerate losses.

The volatility in precious metals comes amid rising uncertainty as traders and investors react to a deadline set by US President Donald Trump for Iran regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. In response, Iran reportedly said it seeks a lasting end to tensions with the US and Israel and pushed back against pressure to reopen the Strait. Trump, however, warned that Iran could be “taken out” if it failed to meet his Tuesday night deadline to reach a deal.

In addition, crude oil prices surged sharply, with Brent crude futures rising as much as 1.69 per cent or $1.86 to $111.63 by 9:57 a.m. US WTI crude futures jumped over 3 per cent or $4.15 to $116.56.
