Gold and Silver Prices Drop Today, February 16: Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata City-Wise Rates
16 Feb, 2026 10:33 IST|Sakshi Post
Gold prices in India traded with little change on Monday, February 16, 2026, as the bullion market entered a quiet consolidation phase following recent volatility. Domestic gold remained supported above key levels, with MCX gold futures holding near ₹1.57 lakh per 10 grams, helping keep retail prices relatively stable across major cities.
After a strong rebound last week, gold eased marginally, reflecting balanced demand from both investors and jewellery buyers. The marginal dip is seen as a normal pause in a steady market rather than a sign of a broader downturn. Meanwhile, silver prices continued to face pressure, trading lower and recording fresh 2026 lows.

Silver’s decline comes amid a broader correction in precious metals, with recent sessions showing high volatility. Traders have pointed to reduced industrial demand and profit booking by investors as key reasons for the downward trajectory.
Prices have tumbled significantly in February, underlining continued volatility in the white metal.
Market Outlook
Gold’s slight consolidation suggests a cautious market taking a breather after recent rebounds, while silver’s steep weakness highlights divergent trends between the two precious metals. Traders will watch global cues and domestic demand, including jewellery buying and investor interest, for future direction.
