A record rise in gold prices in India is being seen this year. On Friday, December 26, the price of 100 grams of 24 carat gold has increased by Rs 58,000 and the price of 10 grams has increased by Rs 5,800. On Friday, just a day after Christmas, gold prices reached record high levels across the country.

During this period, gold was sold cheapest in Hyderabad at Rs 1,40,020 per 10 grams. Whereas, the most expensive one was sold in Chennai at Rs 1,40,620 per 10 grams. This rise in gold prices is taking it out of the reach of the middle class. However, a report has also revealed that despite this surge in prices, people have not reduced buying gold. That means purchasing of gold is still going on in the bullion market. People have found a smart way to buy it.

People used this trick

In fact, people have now started giving priority to 14 and 18 carat gold instead of 22 carat pure gold, which was earlier used only for diamond jewellery. With this change, a new trend has entered the jewelery market. Earlier, 14 and 18 carat gold were used in diamond studded jewelery because they were strong and durable. Due to this, diamonds remain firmly in other jewelery like rings and do not break or bend easily. However, now amidst the rising prices of gold, people have started buying and selling it.

Demand for pure gold is decreasing

According to the report of Moneycontrol, Ahmedabad Jewelers Association says that at the beginning of the year 2025, the price of gold was Rs 80,000 per 10 grams, which has now reached Rs 1.42 lakh. Till two years ago, the share of 22 carat gold in wedding jewelery was 75 percent, which has now come down to 50 percent.

Market experts say that in the coming time, the demand for 14-18 carat gold will remain amid rising gold prices because it is not possible for everyone to buy 22 carat gold jewelery amid the rising prices, hence now 14 to 18 carat gold is emerging as an alternative because without gold jewellery, marriage remains dull.

There will be no boom next year

Meanwhile, Kotak Mahindra AMC Managing Director Nilesh Shah has said that the recent rise in gold and silver prices will not continue in 2026. However, the outlook remains positive. In a conversation with ET NOW, Nilesh Shah advised investors to follow the ‘dharma’ of asset allocation for better returns. “The kind of rally we have seen in precious metals is unlikely to be repeated in 2026. However, central bank buying and industrial demand for silver, especially from electric vehicles, make the outlook for both gold and silver remain positive,” he said.

Gold Price: An upward trend was seen in the prices of gold and silver on Monday. The weakness in the US dollar and the expectation of a possible cut in interest rates by the US Federal Reserve next month have once again attracted investors towards safe investment instruments.

On the afternoon of November 10, gold was trading 1.64% higher at Rs 1,23,057 per 10 grams on MCX, while silver jumped 2.66% to Rs 1,51,657 per kg.

Why are the prices of gold and silver increasing?

Many factors are working behind the rise in gold and silver prices:

• Due to global economic uncertainty and expectation of reduction in interest rates in America, investors in the market have turned towards precious metals.
• The weak US dollar has made gold and silver cheaper for international buyers, leading to an increase in demand.
• Concerns about the stability of the US economy have made investors believe in safe investment options, such as gold and silver.

What should investors do?

Market experts say that due to global uncertainty and wedding season, the prices of precious metals may remain strong in future.

• It is still an attractive option for a long-term investor, but it is important to keep short-term fluctuations in mind.
• Experts suggest that before buying, the support level and market direction should be considered.
• Jewelers believe that due to the wedding season, retail demand will remain strong, which will put upward pressure on prices.

How are the prices of gold and silver decided?

Gold and silver prices depend on many domestic and international factors:

1. Dollar-Rupee Exchange Rate – The prices of gold and silver in the international market are fixed in dollars, hence the weakness of the rupee increases the prices in India.
2. Import Duty and Taxes – Most of the gold is imported into India, due to which Import Duty, GST and local taxes affect the price.
3. Global events – Events such as war, recession, or changes in interest rates directly affect the prices of precious metals.
4. Cultural and seasonal demand – In India, gold is not just an investment but also linked to tradition. Prices rise due to increased demand during wedding and festival seasons.
5. Inflation and market risk – When inflation increases or there is instability in the stock market, then investors consider gold as a safe option, due to which the prices rise.
   

In the current situation, the upward trend in both gold and silver continues. However, for short-term investors the market will remain volatile. Long term investors and consumers purchasing weddings should take decisions carefully and keep an eye on market trends.

Gold has given tremendous returns to investors in the last two years. In October 2022, where it was priced at $ 1630 an ounce, now it has reached $ 3260 an ounce. That is, about 100 percent return in just 28 months. However, now it seems that there has been some brake in its fast, because in the last few weeks, prices have fallen.

Why was the price of gold increased?

Global conditions have been very uncertain over the last few years, such as Russia-Ukraine War, America’s economic uncertainty, tension in the Middle East, and a huge amount of gold purchases by central banks around the world. Due to these reasons, investors bought gold as a “safe investment” and its demand increased. As a result of this, gold prices continued to rise continuously.

Why has the speed stop recently?

In recent weeks, the rise of gold has stopped. The concern about tariffs in America has reduced and Israel-Iran’s conflict also ended with peace in just 12 days, which has reduced the fear in the market slightly. Apart from this, in April, when the price of gold crossed the level of Rs 1 lakh per 10 grams, then the investors started recovery and now it has come down to about 4 percent, ie up to Rs 96,180.

Is this a temporary decline or the end of the rally?

Market experts believe that this decline may be temporary and the demand for gold may increase again in the long term. There is a big reason behind this that many central banks around the world are still buying gold. According to the World Gold Council, 43 percent of the Central Banks are planning to buy more gold in the next 12 months.

Will gold run again by cutting interest rates?

Experts believe that whenever interest rates decrease, investors turn to assets that do not pay interest, such as gold. The US is likely to cut interest rates from September 2025, and it is estimated that by 2026 there may be a total cut of 200 to 300 basis points. This can also lead to re -increase in gold prices.

Dollar weakness and investors inclined

The dollar index is currently below 100, which reflects weakness in American currency. At such a time, investors often leave the dollar and move towards gold. This is why Bank of America estimates that by 2026, the price of gold can reach $ 4000 an ounce.

What should investors do?

If you are a long-term investor, this decline can be a good chance to gradually include gold in your portfolio. But keep in mind that gold is already very high, so there is a possibility of decline in it. The advice is to apply only 5 percent to 10 percent of your portfolio in gold, not more than this.

Gold will still remain ‘safe investment’

As long as uncertainty and geopolitical tension continue in the world, gold will remain reliable for investors. The glow of gold has slowed down, but did not fade completely. For those who think wisely, this is the time to gather gold slowly.

Gold Price: Gold, which was recently at all time high of one lakh per 10 grams, has now slipped below 92,000. On May 16, the June gold contracts on MCX recorded a decline of more than 1 percent. It is believed that the biggest reason for the fall in gold prices is to reduce the trade tension between the US and China.

In fact, both countries have reduced the tariff imposed on each other’s goods for 90 days under mutual agreement. Due to this, the attitude of investors has turned from safe investment ie gold and risky assets.

Strong dollar also dropped gold price

The dollar index is getting stronger at the time of the fourth consecutive week, which makes gold expensive for other currency holders and its demand decreases. This is the reason that gold prices have declined in the international market as well. Talking about Spot Gold, it has slipped up to $ 3,210.19 an ounce in the US market, which shows a decline of about 3 percent this week. This is the biggest weekly decline after November 2024.

No relief from US Federal Reserve policy

Experts say that there are no indications of cutting interest rates from the US Fed, which has reduced enthusiasm in the bullion market (gold purchasing). When the interest rates do not decrease, the attraction of gold decreases because it increases carry cost.

What are technical charts saying?

According to a report published on The Mint, gold is now at the lower end of the 50-day moving average limit, which was continuously supporting since November 2024. If this support breaks, the decline may be deepened. In this report, analysts said that $ 3,136 is an important level. If this level breaks, the decline can go up to $ 2,875–2,950 an ounce.

At the same time, in this report, some experts have told that as long as gold is below 94,000, weakness will remain. But, if gold breaks the level of 89,500, then the next big support will be at 85,000.

What to do investors?

The price of gold in the dollar term is facing support at $ 2,940 and resistance at $ 3,320. Investors will have to pay attention to the movement between it. If you are a long -term investor, this decline can be seen as an opportunity, but short -term traders should be alert at the moment. There is uncertainty in the market and a few days to come can be decisive for trend reversal.

On Monday, May 12, 2025 on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), there was a huge decline in gold prices. The price of gold futures for June futures fell 3,930 i.e. 4 percent to 92,588 per 10 grams. Gold reached a low of 92,389 during the trading. Earlier, its closed price on Friday was Rs 96,518 per 10 grams.

Why such a big decline came in gold

The major reason behind this decline is to reduce global stress. There has been an agreement to provide relief in commercial tariffs between the US and China and the tendency to take risks among investors after the announcement of ceasefire between India and Pakistan has increased. This has reduced the demand for safe investment options like gold.

Dollar strength and global peace

In fact, the dollar index went above $ 101.50 with the declaration of temporary relief by the US-China in mutual tariff. At the same time, reports of the tension between Russia-Ukraine and India and Pakistan were reduced to profit booking.

Silver prices also fall

Along with gold, silver prices also recorded a steep decline. Silver futures on MCX fell by Rs 2,190, or 2.26 per cent, to Rs 94,539 per kg, while the previous closed price was Rs 96,729.

What will happen next?

Experts believe that now gold prices may face resistance within the range of Rs 94,000 to 95,000. If the global risk century remains stable, then gold can also fall up to Rs 90,000. In such a situation, investors are being advised to be cautious about investment in gold and keep an eye on market activities.

Gold Price: After the fall of the last two weeks, there was a strong jump in gold this week. In the domestic market, the rate of MCX gold rose by more than 4 per cent, while the price of spot gold gained 2.65 per cent. Gold closed at Rs 96,535 per 10 grams on MCX on Friday, which is a gain of Rs 3,835 against the previous week as against Rs 92,700.

The fall of rupee increased domestic market

According to experts, the fall of Indian rupee in this gold rally also played an important role. The rupee weakened more than 1 per cent against the dollar last week, causing gold in the domestic market. Because of this, investors made gold purchases as a safe option.

America’s uncertainty became a big reason

The US Federal Reserve has kept the interest rates stable at 4.5 per cent. Apart from this, the impact of economic instability in the US and increasing tariffs is clearly visible on the demand for gold. The cut of 25 basis points of Bank of England has also supported the gold price.

Border tension and global tariff war also causes

At present, investors are scared of the market uncertainty. The threat of foreign films by America on foreign films and pharma sectors has increased tension in the global market. At the same time, the increasing tension on the India-Pakistan border has also intensified the demand for safe-hevan demand in the domestic market. However, the news of the US-China trade tox and the new trade deal of the US-UK has given the market a little stability. But the global confusion is still intact.

Now buy or stop? Know the outlook of gold

Currently, the rate of gold can be between 94,500 and 97,500. If it breaks the level of 97,500, then it can also go up to 98,780 or a record high 99,358 rupees. At the same time, gold is supported at $ 3,280 an ounce internationally, which can open up to $ 3,420.

Gold Price: In the coming days, the price of gold can increase with a record breaking rapidly. JP Morgan said in his forecast that by mid -2026, the price of gold can cross 4 thousand dollars per ounce. The bank recently said in a note that the concerns of the growing recession, the high tariffs installed by the US and the growing trade tension between the US and China are expected to increase the yellow metal continuously.

JP Morgan believes that the average price of gold will be $ 3,675 an ounce by the fourth quarter of 2025. He said that if the demand for investors and central banks remain strong, then prices can touch the level of $ 4,000 before. So far this year, there has already been a rise of 29% in spot gold. On April 22, gold reached an all -time high of $ 3,500 an ounce.

Goldman Sachs is also now adopting a faster stand, which has recently increased its forecast of the last 2025 from $ 3,300 to $ 3,700 an ounce. The bank says that in an extreme position, gold can also reach $ 4,500 by the end of next year.

Actually, a major factor behind this forecast of JP Morgan is a strong purchase from investors and central banks. The bank hopes that this year the demand for pure gold will be around 710 tonnes per quarter. Experts wrote, “Our forecast for moving gold prices to $ 4,000 an ounce next year is a strong demand for investors and central banks. Which is purely about 710 tonnes per quarter this year.”

Nevertheless, JP Morgan has also indicated in his forecasts towards potential negative risks. If the demand of central banks is weak or if the American economy faces tariffs better than anticipated, the fed can adopt a more aggressive stance – potentially raising interest rates.

The bank warned, “The more importantly the landscape of the recession will be where the US economic growth remains incredibly flexible to tariffs, which can make the fed far more active in dealing with the risks of inflation, which will make the market feared an increase in rates before real worrying inflation comes.”

Gold Crossed 1 Lakh: The same thing happened in the midst of the uncertainty in the global market. Gold has now crossed the threshold of one lakh. On Monday, gold crossed the price of 10 grams one lakh rupees per 10 grams. In the domestic market, 24 carat gold in the domestic market fell beyond Rs 1 lakh, while it went beyond 99,000 at the beginning of trading on MCX. In such a situation, the question is arising that when there is so much uncertainty all around and there is a threat of recession in the American market, then why is the price of gold reaching the seventh sky? Let us know about its five factor:

1-fear in investors

After the tariff imposed by President Donald Trump, investors are concerned about the future at this time. The trade war in China and America has further increased these uncertainties of the market. In such a situation, there has been a threat of recession in front of the American economy. If there is a recession crisis in America, then it will affect the whole world. This is the reason that the safest investment in front of the investors for safe investment is currently getting gold.

2- Dollar declines

One of the reasons for the increase in the price of gold is the continuous decline in the US dollar. Due to the tariff, the dollar has fallen to 97.92 due to the trade war between the world’s two global economy, which is the lowest level in three years. If the price of the dollar continues to fall in this way, a new crisis will arise in front of the American economy. This is the reason that US President Donald Trump is now rethinking his strategy to pressurize other countries by using tariffs, because it is causing damage to the American economy.

3-shadow season

One of the major reasons for increasing the price of gold is our social and cultural engagement in it. Jewelry is compulsorily considered in weddings, which is given to the bride. Apart from this, Akshaya Tritiya is also on the end of this month i.e. 30 April. In such a situation, the shopping being done by the people has also kept the price of gold more.

4- Trend towards gold

People have a tendency towards gold whether they either consider the property to be a better option or investment in terms of investment. In such a situation, an uncertainty in the property market in the last few years has also attracted people from Gold. If you look at in the last five years, its price has doubled since 2020. In 2020, Rs 50151 per ten grams was available, which has now crossed one lakh in 2025.

5-Experts estimate

It was constantly said by the market experts that the price of gold may increase further in the coming days. One of the reasons is that people are considering investment in future by thinking of increasing its price.

Gold Price: In the last few days, there has been such a jump in gold prices worldwide that the eyes of investors are now directly on the figure of 1 lakh. The growing business conflict between the US and China and the US dollar weakness has once again made gold “safe haven”.

New record in domestic market

Gold prices on MCX reached 93,940 per 10 grams on Friday and finally closed at 93,887. This is a gain of 5,757 in a week, or about 6.53 percent. Earlier this rate was Rs 88,130 per 10 grams.

The same condition of international market

Spot gold in the global market has touched a height of $ 3,245 an ounce and closed at $ 3,236.21. That is, a weekly lead of 6.41 percent. For the first time, the dollar index fell below 100 in two years to 99.89.

Why are gold prices rising?

America-China trade war

The Trump government has imposed heavy taxes on China, while the rest of the countries have been given temporary relief. This has a direct impact on the trade relationship. The US has imposed a tax of up to 145 per cent on some Chinese goods and China has also retaliated and has implemented rates ranging from 84 per cent to 125 per cent.

Dollar weakness

The dollar slipped below 99, giving gold support. When the dollar is weak, investors run towards gold.

Fed rate cut expected

Inflation figures in the US have come weaker than expected, which is believed that US Federal Reserve can cut interest rates this year. This has increased the glow of gold.

What will happen next?

According to The Mint’s report, experts believe that now the price of gold can touch the level of 95,000 to 95,500. In the long term, they can also touch the figure of 1 lakh per 10 grams. Internationally gold can go to the range of $ 3,280 to 3,320 doers.
