Gold Rate Falls on MCX Amid Profit Booking; Silver Slides 2% as Market Cools

Gold rate on the MCX slipped sharply on February 26, 2026, as traders booked profits after recent gains. At the same time, silver slid nearly 2%, marking the biggest drop in weeks. This pullback came even as markets showed mixed global cues and investors weighed what comes next. Short‑term traders took money off the table, cooling the momentum that pushed bullion higher earlier in the month.
