AI desk brief

On November 6, 2026, Dhanteras, MCX gold futures fell 1.70% to Rs 141,644/10g and silver dropped 2.02% to Rs 183,358/kg at 12:43 pm. Augmont’s Renisha Chainani said silver futures lost around 20% in October and forecast a 19% decline in solar-related silver demand in 2026, which could weigh on demand. Against that, the Silver Institute forecasts a 46.3-million-ounce annual deficit, though this alone does not establish immediate scarcity. Chainani cited third-quarter central-bank gold purchases of 321 tonnes and ETF additions of 211 tonnes as demand support; retail jewellery costs also depend on purity, charges and taxes.
