Gold Prices Remain Unstable, Silver Prices Today Drop Below ₹3 Lakh on February 6, 2026; Check City-Wise Rates
Gold prices in India have entered another phase of volatility after briefly recovering from a three-day slide. Following two sessions of sharp gains, bullion prices once again turned weak on Friday as markets turned cautious ahead of the Reserve Bank of India’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) decision.
On Friday, February 6, physical gold prices stood largely unchanged but showed signs of pressure amid global cues and cautious investor sentiment.

Market Outlook

With global uncertainty, RBI policy cues, and muted industrial demand, silver remains vulnerable to further downside unless strong buying interest returns.
