Reasons why gold and silver prices fell in March 2026

Manav Modi, commodities analyst, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd, told ET Wealth Online that gold and silver prices fell mainly due to a shift in macroeconomic expectations rather than a lack of demand.

“Despite ongoing geopolitical tensions, inflation fears and monetary policy expectations are currently dominating price movements,” says Modi.

Maneesh Sharma, AVP - Commodities & Currencies, Anand Rathi Shares and Stock Brokers, says some of the reasons why gold and silver prices have been falling are-

• Higher oil prices led to inflationary fears leading to expectations of rate hikes by central banks.
• US Treasury yields remain elevated
• A steady US Dollar (USD) is trading above Rs 99
• Iran denying that it had held talks with the US to end its conflict with Israel.
