Silver Prices Drop 0.44% in India Amid Strong Dollar and Rate Hike Expectations

On 29 September 2026, the price of 1 gm of silver was ₹226, and the price of 1 kg of silver was ₹226,070, reflecting a loss of 0.44% compared to its previous close. Meanwhile, the 10 gm silver rate is at ₹2,261. Silver prices in India are largely influenced by international spot silver rates, US dollar fluctuations, and import duties on silver among other things. Silver prices are trending sideways as markets continue to assess the negotiations between US and Iran, and eye key US economic data. The white metal continues to face pressure from a firm US dollar, as a strong greenback makes precious metals more expensive for other currency holders, thereby denting demand. Increased expectations of a rate hike by the US Federal Reserve also limited the gains for white metal. High crude oil prices continue to stoke inflationary pressures, capping the gains for non-interest-yielding silver. ALSO READ Gold under pressure, silver drops 1% as US Yield hits 18-year high Pressure from elevated domestic and international bond yields also added to the downside for precious metals. Analysts expect silver prices to remain range-bound in the near future, driven by a firm dollar and high crude oil prices. Fed’s hawkish stance is expected to move the white metal within a specific range. For now, markets remain focused on geopolitical developments and key US economic data. Retail investors are advised to track not just domestic rates but also international trends before making buying decisions.

Gold Prices Rebound in India Amid Global Market Volatility

On 29 September 2026, the price of 24K gold at ₹147,340 per 10 grams, reflecting a gain of ₹330 compared to its previous close. Meanwhile, 22K gold is at ₹135,062 per 10 grams. Gold prices in India are largely influenced by international spot gold rates, US dollar fluctuations, and import duties on Gold among other things. Gold prices in India continue to remain higher than in Dubai. On 29 September 2026 the price of 24K gold in India is at ₹147,340 per 10 grams, while in Dubai it is ₹136,305, reflecting a difference of ₹11,035 or 8.10%. Similarly, 22K and 18K gold prices in India were also about 8.10% costlier compared to the price of gold in Dubai , not accounting for fees, duties, and taxes. Gold prices have rebounded from their previous session lows as markets assess the developments in the West Asia conflict. However, experts say that the yellow metal remains vulnerable to downside driven by high crude oil prices, which continue to mount inflationary concerns. ALSO READ Gold under pressure, silver drops 1% as US Yield hits 18-year high The dollar index firmed up to a two-month high, limiting the upside for the precious metal. A strong greenback makes non-interest-bearing assets more expensive for other currency holders, thereby denting demand. Increased bets on a rate hike by the US Federal Reserve at its October and December meetings continue to limit the rise in gold prices. “ The modest recovery does not yet signal a clear change in trend. Gold remains vulnerable to further pressure if upcoming inflation and labour-market data point to persistent price pressures and increase the scope for monetary tightening,” said Kaynat Chainwala, AVP Commodity Research, Kotak Securities. Analysts expect gold prices to trade range-bound in the near term as markets continue to monitor the US-Iran negotiations and await key US economic data. High oil prices , elevated domestic and international bond yields, and a strong dollar are expected to limit the uptick for yellow metal. “For now, the market remains highly sensitive to the interaction between US data, Fed expectations, yields and geopolitical developments, making the next few sessions particularly important for determining whether gold can stabilise after the recent correction,” added Chainwala. Retail investors are advised to track not just domestic rates but also international trends before making buying decisions.

India's External Affairs Minister Warns of Potential Food Crisis Amid Fertilizer Shortages

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar warned at the Asia Society Dialogue that the world could face a major food crisis in the coming months. He said that the world is already facing a severe shortage of fertilizer due to the Ukraine and Iran Gulf conflicts. According to him, these two wars have a deep and stressful impact on the economies of the Global South. He also described the security of oil supplies and the politics over it as a major concern. Jaishankar said that the biggest concern is about energy, because the oil market is already very tight. Politics over oil drives prices, while prices need to be stabilized at this time. According to Jaishankar, there is a question of security of oil supply on the one hand and the politics of oil on the other. Both are promoting each other and this is creating a double or more serious crisis. On the food crisis, he said that some big grain exporting countries will not be able to send their shipments out, especially from the Black Sea. There is also a huge shortage of fertilizer in the world, because there are large producers of it in the West and Russia, which is affected by the super-seasonal energy crisis. Jaishankar said that there is a big impact on their food production in the coming months.

Tata Sons Listing and Leadership Transition Won't Immediately Impact Credit Ratings: S&P Global

A potential listing of Tata Sons and the leadership transition at the Tata Group are unlikely to have an immediate impact on the credit ratings of group entities, but could raise questions about the continuity of strategy, financial policy and group support over the longer term, S&P Global Ratings said. “Any changes in the Tata Group’s financial policies are likely to be gradual. A potential listing of holding company Tata Sons and leadership transition at the group would therefore have no immediate impact on our ratings on group entities,” the ratings agency said. On September 11, the Reserve Bank of India wrote to Tata Sons, rejecting its application to surrender its Certificate of Registration as a core investment company. Following that, the Tata Sons board, at a meeting on September 17, resolved to undertake the required steps to comply with the regulations that apply to upper layer NBFCs . It added that the salt to semiconductor group has a conservative management approach. “We view the rated entities as run by independent professional, management teams, although Tata Sons does influence their strategy,” S&P Global said. S&P currently rates Tata Steel, Tata Motors, Tata Power, Tata Power Renewable Energy, Tata Capital and Jaguar Land Rover Automotive at investment grade, with Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles and JLR carrying negative outlooks. The agency considers the rated companies to be strategically important to Tata Sons, resulting in up to three notches of support. “That said, the leadership transition or changes in the group structure or stakeholder priorities may raise questions around the continuity of the group’s strategy and financial policy, and the likelihood of group support over the longer term. This is particularly relevant because rated companies such as Tata Steel , Tata Power , and Tata Capital have significant growth plans, and JLR is going through a business transition,” S&P Global said. It added that a routine listing of Tata Sons in its current form would be neutral for Tata group companies. However, greater public ownership could increase scrutiny of investment decisions, capital allocation and support for weaker group entities. This could place greater emphasis on financial returns, capital discipline, shareholder distributions, leverage and accountability for strategic investments, the agency said. At the same time, given the size of a potential Tata Sons IPO , it would take several years for public shareholders to become significant, the agency said. The agency said its assessment of group support currently relies on Tata Sons being a single key controlling entity with ownership across multiple diversified companies. Any restructuring that makes a clear controlling entity less obvious or weakens Tata Sons’ credit profile could affect its assessment of the group’s credit quality and the ratings support available to individual companies.

Its troops are scheduled to return by Wednesday from the last US bases in Iraq. The withdrawal was scheduled for 2024 under the presidency of Joe Biden and is being carried out by the government of Donald Trump, while the United States is also fighting a war against Iran. Iran and its allies are calling it a victory. Security experts fear that Iran and its factions will have a free hand and that enemies of the United States, such as the Islamic State, may also return. 4,500 Americans were killed in more than two decades of war in Iraq. According to security analyst Jassim al-Bahdali, who studies Iran-backed Shiite groups, the coalition's departure is a strategic advantage for Iran, as it has been blocking Iran's influence in Iraq for years. Brave estimates that these groups will call it a victory and try to increase their interference in security and political decisions. Abu Mujtaba al-Yasiri, commander of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a group of Iran-backed groups, told Reuters on September 30 that they will not celebrate the resistance and defeat the American plan to blacklist Iraq's foreign forces.

St. Petersburg Concerts by Controversial Rapper Ye Officially Canceled Amid Backlash

Two St. Petersburg concerts by controversial rapper Ye scheduled for next month have been officially canceled following weeks of conflicting statements from venue management and local promoters. An Instagram account affiliated with the U.S. touring agency Access Opera confirmed the cancellation Tuesday, directing ticket holders to seek refunds from the Russian promoter Say Agency. The shows, originally scheduled for Oct. 10 and 11 at Gazprom Arena, triggered immediate backlash from conservative Russian politicians due to Ye’s past public support of Nazism, which constitutes a criminal offense under Russian law. Gazprom Arena claimed it had never signed a contract with Say Agency and could not host the Ye shows. Local media reported at the time that the sudden cancellation followed a phone call “from above,” suggesting the Kremlin may have directly intervened. Say Agency later insisted the Ye concerts would still take place. However, the promoter has since retracted those statements and said it will release an official announcement about the status of the shows on Wednesday. Despite the cancellation, a Turkish agency that organized Ye’s performance in Istanbul in May listed a tentative July 10, 2027, date for a Moscow show on its website. Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium had said it would be open to hosting Ye’s concert following Gazprom Arena’s withdrawal. Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, previously visited Moscow in 2024 to celebrate the birthday of fashion designer and collaborator Gosha Rubchinskiy. Rumors of a performance at Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium circulated at the time. The rapper has drawn controversy in recent years for his antisemitic remarks. He has previously voiced admiration for Adolf Hitler, and in May 2025, he released a song called “Heil Hitler.”

Their current contract expires on September 30. The current agency has also sent termination letters to the teachers informing them that the contract will not be renewed. There is confusion whether the existing teachers will continue their jobs after the tender for the new agency is floated. The teachers demand that the agency system be scrapped and they be given the status of direct government contractual employees. They say that teachers up to the fifth phase have been working as government contractual employees, while those in the sixth and seventh phases have been under the agencies for about five years.

Uttar Pradesh Elections: Samajwadi Party's Campaign Sparks Tension in Seat-Sharing Talks with Congress

The most difficult time in coalition politics comes just before the elections, when more seats are visible than cooperation. The relationship between the Samajwadi Party and the Congress in Uttar Pradesh seems to be stuck in this test. Akhilesh Yadav started his PDA rath yatra from Rae Bareli. It was not a normal campaign. Rae Bareli is Rahul Gandhi's Lok Sabha constituency, part of the Congress's identity. The SP's poll blitz from there was also a message to the ally and pressure. The result is in front. The tussle for seats has intensified, the rhetoric has become bitter and the rift is more visible than before. Congress leaders are uncomfortable with this visit. State president Ajay Rai's response was direct. He said that Akhilesh can go to Rae Bareli and Amethi, then the Congress can also go to Kannauj, Etawah and Saifai. It is not a language alliance, but a competition. Rallying in the stronghold may seem like a normal campaign, but in the current environment. This is a warning message that the Congress will not accept the claims of Shivpal Yadav and the SP in its traditional strongholds.

India Pursues Alternate Air Route Through China's Xinjiang Amid Pakistan Restrictions and Fuel Price Hike

India is in talks with China to make Xinjiang airspace an alternate route for Indian airlines, sources have confirmed. According to sources, these talks have been going on for about a year. The Ministry of External Affairs is also active on this issue. The increase in aviation fuel prices due to the war in West Asia has also increased the cost. This alternate route can prove to be important for Indian airlines. According to sources, India is particularly exploring the possibility of using China's Xinjiang airspace as an alternate route. The government is currently looking for an alternate air route due to restrictions on Pakistani airspace. According to sources, India's talks with China regarding Xinjiang airspace have been going on for about a year. The restrictions on Pakistani airspace have caused Indian operators to take longer routes for their international flights to Europe and the United States. This has increased India's operational costs, while the West Asia conflict has also increased the cost of aviation turbine fuel (ATF).
