Business Desk – Gold-Silver Price Today: A decline was seen in the prices of gold and silver on the morning of 17 September 2026. Gold has come under pressure in the global market after the US Federal Reserve increased interest rates by 25 basis points. At 7:15 am, gold fell nearly 1% on COMEX to $4,351.90 an ounce. Silver also fell by about 0.91% and was trading at $ 64.325 an ounce.
Earlier on Wednesday, gold and silver had closed with a rise in the domestic market i.e. MCX. Now in Thursday's trading, investors are keeping an eye on the movement of Dollar Index, Bond Yield and global market after the US interest rate decision.
Pressure on Gold-Silver after Fed Rate Hike
The US Federal Reserve has increased the interest rate by 25 basis points. After this, the new range of American interest rates has become 3.75% to 4%. After the rate increase, there has been a strengthening in Dollar Index and Bond Yield.
A strong dollar and rising bond yields generally impact investments like gold, which do not earn interest. This is the reason why after the Fed's decision, Gold and Silver have become weak in early trading in the global market.
Crude Oil is also important amid Middle East Tension
Middle East Tension also continues to affect the prices of gold and silver. There has been a sharp rise in crude oil prices due to tension in West Asia. There was some softening in crude oil on Thursday, but its prices still remained above $ 100 per barrel.
There is concern about increase in inflation due to expensive crude oil. In such a situation, further signals related to US interest rates and inflation will be important for the direction of Gold-Silver.
Gold rose 1.42% on MCX on Wednesday
In Wednesday's trade, gold on MCX closed at Rs 1,52,950 per 10 grams with a rise of 1.42%. Whereas silver increased by 1.36% and closed at Rs 2,35,275 per kg.

Which factors are important for Gold-Silver today?
The movement of Gold and Silver in the coming trading may be affected by the US interest rate, Dollar Index, Bond Yield, Crude Oil and the situation in the Middle East. After Fed Rate Hike, the market will now keep an eye on the signals regarding further monetary policy.
After the rise in the domestic market on Wednesday, weakness in the global market on Thursday morning has put pressure on both the precious metals. However, Middle East Tension and Crude Oil running above $100 also pose different types of risks to the market.
