Gold and Silver Prices on October 23: Gold and silver prices are climbing globally amid uncertainties related to the upcoming US presidential elections and ongoing global issues. The recent push by BRICS nations towards de-dollarisation has also increased demand for precious metals. On October 23, gold prices in India surpassed the Rs 80,000 mark for the first time.

The price of 24-carat gold, known for its highest purity, reached Rs 80,220 per 10 grams. For jewelry buyers, 22-carat gold, which is more durable due to its alloy composition, was priced at Rs 73,550 per 10 grams, according to goodreturns.in. Meanwhile, silver has seen a significant rise, trading at Rs 1,04,000 per kilogram.

Rahul Kalantri, vice-president (commodities) at Mehta Equities, stated, “Gold and silver showed strong momentum today, with gold prices surpassing $2,750 per troy ounce and silver hitting 12-year highs at $35 per troy ounce. In India, silver on the MCX platform has crossed the five-digit mark per kilogram for the first time. Uncertainty around the US presidential elections and the BRICS push towards de-dollarisation are driving demand for these metals.”
