Gold price today, March 12 -- Gold rate on the MCX eased on Thursday (March 12) morning amid profit booking, tepid spot demand, and the dollar's rise against major peers. However, persisting geopolitical risks and uncertainties over the US tariff policies capped losses for the precious metal.

MCX gold April futures were 0.10% down at Rs.1,61,660 per 10 grams around 9:15 am. MCX silver May futures were 0.57% down at Rs.2,66,969 per kg at that time.

The dollar index rose by 0.30%, making greenback-backed bullion expensive for overseas buyers.
