Indian commodity markets witnessed selective buying on Tuesday, with precious metals leading the gains, while energy and agri commodities showed a mixed trend.
Gold futures rose 5.61% to trade at ₹152,068 per 10 grams, supported by strong safe-haven demand and global uncertainty. Silver futures outperformed, jumping 12.37% to ₹265,490 per kg, reflecting heightened investor interest and volatility in precious metals.
Among base metals, copper futures gained 5.26% to ₹1,283.05 per kg, tracking global cues and expectations of steady industrial demand. In contrast, zinc futures slipped marginally by 0.09% to ₹324.70 per kg.
In the energy segment, crude oil futures traded nearly flat, edging up 0.14% to ₹5,633 per barrel, as markets balanced supply concerns with demand outlook. Natural gas futures declined 0.37% to ₹293.8 per MMBtu.
Agri commodities showed mixed performance. Turmeric futures rose 0.73% to ₹16,670 per 100 kg, while guar seed futures increased 0.58% to ₹5,548 per 100 kg. On the downside, jeera futures eased 0.02% to ₹23,865 per 100 kg, and coriander futures saw sharper losses, falling 2.56% to ₹11,874 per 100 kg, amid profit booking and supply-side pressure.
Overall, the commodities market remained volatile, with strong momentum in precious metals offset by weakness in select agri and energy contracts.
