₹980
following a sharp plunge on Thursday evening.
Hareesh V, Head of Commodity Research, Geojit Investments, believes that gold prices have turned choppy following their
sharp swings in early 2026, but the broader structure still appears constructive.
He added that the recent volatility was driven by shifts in Fed expectations, dollar strength, and speculative flows,
yet gold continues to hold above key psychological levels, keeping the medium‑term bias intact.
Gold Rate Latest Update: 12th February 2026
Gold prices in Delhi eased today, February 12, after rising a day ago as hopes of near-term rate hikes by the US Federal
Reserve dimmed following the US jobs data. Gold rate in Delhi declined over
₹780 to
₹157,580 per 10 grams. Moreover,
a firm US dollar also dented the appeal of the gold for buyers of other currencies.
Gold prices are trading in the
₹1,55,000–
₹1,60,000 range following consolidation after a sharp correction from all-time
highs near
₹1,80,000–
₹1,81,000.
"While short-term price action remains in digestion mode, the broader uptrend structure is still supportive, with prices
holding above major long-term support areas. Strong demand is seen in the
₹1,45,000–
₹1,50,000 band," opined Ponmudi R,
CEO of Enrich Money.
He believes a sustained hold above this base, followed by a breakout above
₹1,60,800, could revive bullish momentum
towards
₹1,65,000–
₹1,75,000. He added that the medium-term outlook remains positive despite volatility.
Gold Rate Latest Update: 11th February 2026
The gold prices in Delhi jumped over
₹1500 in trade on Wednesday, February 11, after weak retail sales in the US

for non-interest-yielding assets like bullion.
Recently, gold prices have been caught in a range after plunging from record highs of
₹180,000. Analysts believe that
short-term consolidation is likely to persist.
Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, said, "The
₹1,45,000–
₹1,50,000 band continues to act as a strong accumulation zone.
Sustained holding above this base, followed by a breakout above
₹1,60,000, could trigger renewed upside toward
₹1,65,000–
₹1,75,000. Medium-term outlook remains positive, though volatility may persist."
Gold Rate Latest Update: 9th February 2026
After a brutal last week, gold prices in India today witnessed an uptick on Monday, February 9, as a weak US dollar
supported the buying in the yellow metal. Any decline in the greenback makes the gold cheaper for the buyers in other
currencies, thereby increasing its demand.
The metals also recovered as traders positioned ahead of macro data and policy cues. Near-term consolidation is likely,
with key support levels for gold price today at
₹1.54–1.55 lakh, said Gaurav Garg, Research Analyst at Lemonn Markets
Desk. Overall, market sentiment remains cautiously bullish amid ongoing macro uncertainty, he added.
Sharing a longer-term outlook, Manav Modi of MOSL, said that the broader fundamentals still support bullion through
2026, driven by central bank buying, fiscal concerns and geopolitical risks, though near-term volatility is likely to
remain elevated.
Gold Rate Latest Update: 30th January 2026

₹2,700 per 10 grams on January 30, Friday, in line with the
fall in international markets, after hitting record high levels. Gold rate in Delhi today fell by
₹2,750 to
₹167,130
per 10 grams.
In the global markets,
gold
rate today declined amid rumours that the US Federal Reserve could get a more hawkish chair. A recovery in the
US dollar from multi-year lows, supported in part by the Fed’s decision to leave interest rates unchanged, also weighed
on gold prices.A stronger dollar makes greenback-priced gold more expensive for overseas buyers.
However, the yellow metal price was still on track for its strongest monthly gain since 1980 as investors flocked to the
safe haven amid lingering geopolitical and economic strains. Gold prices have risen more than 20% so far in January,
heading for a sixth straight monthly gain and the largest monthly advance since January 1980.

Rahul Kalantri, VP Commodities, Mehta Equities Ltd, gold price has support at $5,255 -
$5,175, and resistance at $5,440 - $5,540. Silver price has support at $109.10 - $104.75 and resistance at $115.15 -

Gold Rate Latest Update: 28th January 2026
Gold prices surged almost ₹6000 per 10 grams on January 28 in the national capital as gold rate in Delhi today
crossed ₹1,64,000 mark. The rise in gold is unabated as investors are seeking safer assets amid the risky
geopolitical environment.
A weak US dollar is also driving demand for gold as decline in greenback makes the metal cheaper for buyers in other
currencies. A weaker dollar improved bullion’s appeal, while comments from US President Trump signalling comfort
with a softer dollar and expectations of lower interest rates under the next Fed leadership added momentum, said
Kotak Securities.
Soft U.S. consumer confidence data, alongside ongoing tariff and policy risks, reinforced gold’s safe-haven appeal,
with central bank buying and steady ETF inflows continuing to underpin prices, said the brokerage.
Jateen Trivedi, VP Research Analyst - Commodity and Currency, LKP Securities said that while US Fed will likely keep
the rates unchanged, the focus is firmly on the Fed’s statement and forward guidance on future rate cuts, which is
keeping gold elevated.
However, after such a sharp and extended upmove, gold is entering an overheated zone where volatility can increase,
the expert warned. Trivedi sees immediate resistance for gold prices near ₹1,66,000, while strong support stands
around ₹1,60,000.
Gold Rate Latest Update: 27th January 2026
Gold rate in Delhi on January 27 rallied to a fresh peak of close to ₹1,60,000 per 10 grams as investors remained
concerned about rising geopolitical risks following US President Donald Trump's latest tariff tantrums.
Trump on Monday threatened to raise tariffs on South Korea from 15% to 25%, while warning of 100% tariffs on Canada
and 200% on certain French wines and champagne. Against this backdrop, investors are seeking safety in precious
metals like gold.
Additionally, a weaker dollar, and uncertainty around US Federal Reserve leadership also continued to underpin
safe-haven demand, driving gold rate in Delhi today higher.
Jateen Trivedi, VP Research Analyst - Commodity and Currency, LKP Securities, said on January 27 that gold traded
sharply positive at ₹1,58,800, up ₹2,750, as Comex gold surged $80 to $5,090 amid renewed trade uncertainty.
"The US implementation risk of a 25% tariff on South Korea has intensified concerns around global trade stability,
reinforcing safe-haven demand in bullion. With rising uncertainty in world trade dynamics, gold continues to attract
allocation flows. Immediate resistance is seen near ₹1,62,500, while strong support is placed around ₹1,55,000," he
opined.
Renisha Chainani, Head - Research at Augmont, also expects gold prices to rise further. For precious metals this
year, the dominant driver has been policy uncertainty under Trump, she said. "A fresh wave of first-time
investors—especially across Asia and Europe—is aggressively building personal holdings of gold and silver, adding
structural support to prices," opined the expert.
Gold Rate Latest Update: 23rd January 2026
Eroding trust in US assets, weakness in the dollar and rising geopolitical and economic uncertainty drove the gold
rate in Delhi to fresh record highs on Friday, January 23. After taking a breather in the last trading sessions,
gold prices surged as investors flocked to the yellow metal.
Gold rate in Delhi crossed the ₹1,59,000 per 10-gram mark as safe-haven demand continued to drive gains in the
yellow metal. While US President Donald Trump's U-turn on Greenland provided some comfort to EU leaders, they warned
of action in case of further threats.
MCX gold price continues to track global strength, aided by a stable USD/INR band between 91.30 and 91.60, said
Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money.
"The rising channel remains intact, with the ₹1,57,000– ₹1,58,000 zone acting as a strong dynamic support area. Every
decline is being absorbed swiftly, highlighting the dominance of buyers. A sustained breakout above ₹1,59,000–
₹1,60,500 is likely to accelerate the rally toward ₹1,63,000– ₹1,65,000," he said, adding that the overall structure
for the bullion market remains strong, with momentum firmly on the upside.
However, Justin Khoo, Senior Market Analyst - APAC, VT Market, advised some caution as he believes that while the
momentum remains intact, such elevated levels increase the risk of short-term volatility and profit-taking.
Gold Rate Latest Update: 22nd January 2026
Gold tends to move higher when safe-haven demand rises. But the easing geopolitical and trade tensions tend to
pressurise gold, which is what happened in today's bullion market.
Gold rate in Delhi declined sharply amid ease in futures market and international prices after US President
Trump stepped back from tariff threats against European nations and cited progress toward a broader framework with
NATO, easing fears of a trans-Atlantic trade war and dampening safe-haven demand. The gold rate today in Delhi was
close to ₹151,000 per 10 grams.
Analysts at Kotak Securities expect gold to remain volatile in the near term as traders stay cautious ahead of key
US inflation numbers and the Bank of Japan’s monetary policy decision.
Gold prices are already inflated due to geopolitical tensions of recent times and these profit bookings are healthy
for the commodity to cool down the euphoric momentum, said Aamir Makda, Commodity & Currency Analyst, Choice
Broking.
Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, shared key levels for the gold rate today, January 22. After testing highs around
₹1,58,000+, prices have seen a mild correction on profit-booking but continue to hold firmly above key supports,
said the analyst. "A breakout above ₹1,58,000 – ₹1,60,000 could trigger the next leg higher toward ₹1,65,000 –
₹1,70,000. The preferred buy-on-dips zone remains ₹1,50,000 – ₹1,53,000, keeping the medium-term bias decisively
bullish," he opined.
Gold Rate Latest Update: 19th January 2026
Gold rate in Delhi surged to fresh record high levels as safe-haven demand for the precious metals showed no signs of
abating amid fresh tariff threat from US
President Donald Trump on several European countries, amid their opposition to his ambition to buy
Greenland.
Trump’s announcement of a 10% tariff on EU nations has revived uncertainty around global trade and raised questions
over the progress of the US–India trade deal. Additionally, geopolitical risks emanating from the US, including
Greenland coming into focus, have elevated global risk sentiment.
In such an environment, gold continues to remain a preferred allocation, with any minor profit
booking being viewed as a buying opportunity, said Jateen Trivedi, VP Research Analyst - Commodity and Currency, LKP
Securities on January 19.
Gold Rate Latest Update: 12th January 2026
Gold rate in Delhi surged sharply on January 12 amid twin factors:
weakness in the US dollar and heightened
geopolitical risks. When global risks rise, investors prefer safe-haven assets like gold, and a weak US
dollar makes it cheaper for Indians to import gold, thus increasing its demand.
Today, gold rate in Delhi is the highest ever, as escalating tensions involving the US, Venezuela, and now Iran, have
revived strong safe-haven demand.
Analysts believe that this week remains data-heavy, with CPI inflation numbers from both the US and India likely to
influence the Federal Reserve’s outlook and rupee movement, keeping bullion momentum elevated. Jateen Trivedi of LKP
Securities sees gold having a strong support near
₹1,38,500, while resistance is seen around
₹1,42,500 on technical
front.
Gold Rate Latest Update: 8th January 2026
Domestic gold prices extended losses to the second consecutive session today, with gold rate in Delhi slumping to Rs
136,890 per 10 gram on 8th January, 2026.
The pullback in
gold
rate today Delhi is due to the global factor such as annual rebalancing of major commodity indexes. This process
is expected to trigger selling worth billions of dollars in coming days. Some macro triggers including ADP non-farm
employment and non-farm payrolls, are likely to add volatility and provide direction to gold prices going ahead. Jatin
Trivedi, VP Research Analyst - Commodity and Currency, LKP Securities, on January 8 afternoon said that rupee volatility
also weighed on domestic bullion sentiment, even as broader global cues remained mixed.
Gold Rate Latest Update: 7th January 2026
According to the information available on bullions.co.in, the gold rate in New Delhi today has received intense selling
pressure. On why gold rates are under pressure, Kaynat Chainwala, AVP Commodity Research at Kotak Securities, said,
"Gold price today has eased as traders look ahead to U.S. jobs data for clues on monetary policy following December FOMC
minutes suggesting officials remain divided on timing and scale of rate cuts."
Gold Rate Latest Update: 5th January, 2026
The fresh bout of geopolitical risks, after the
US attacked Venezuela and arrested President Nicolas
Maduro over the weekend, investor interest in safe havens like gold spiked. Gold prices in Delhi surged today against
this backdrop. Gold is seen as a safe-haven asset and in times of geopolitical turmoil, investors tend to flock to it,
along with silver. The latest rise on January 5 comes on the back of a 4% drop last week, which ended January 2, amid
profit booking.
Going ahead, Rahul Kalantri, VP Commodities, Mehta Equities, said the market participants will closely track further
developments related to this event, along with the US ISM Manufacturing PMI data due later today. He also sees the
weakness in the rupee providing support to domestic gold prices. According to the expert, gold has support at $4255-4205
while resistance is at $4395-4445.
Factors Influencing Gold Rate in Delhi
The gold price in Delhi is influenced by several key factors:
- Global Economic Conditions: The international gold market significantly impacts the gold rate in Delhi. Economic
events, such as changes in US Federal Reserve policies or geopolitical tensions, can cause fluctuations in gold
prices.
- Currency Exchange Rates: The value of the Indian Rupee against the US Dollar is crucial in determining gold
prices. A weaker rupee typically leads to higher gold prices as gold is traded globally in dollars.
- Local Demand and Supply:The gold rate in Delhi is also affected by local factors such as demand during
festivals, weddings, and other significant events. High demand can drive up prices, while low demand may cause
them to decrease.
- Government Policies: Import duties, Goods and Services Tax (GST), and other regulatory measures by the
government can impact gold prices. Changes in these policies can either increase or decrease the cost of gold.
- Inflation: Gold is often seen as a hedge against inflation. When inflation rates rise, the demand for gold
typically increases, leading to higher prices.
Best Periods to Buy Gold in Delhi
Timing is crucial when buying gold. Here are some strategies for purchasing gold at the best possible rates:
- During Off-Season: Gold prices in Delhi tend to rise during the wedding season and festivals like Diwali due to
increased demand. If you plan your purchases during the non-peak season to secure lower rates.
- Buying During Market Dips: Gold prices fluctuate regularly. By keeping an eye on market trends, you can buy gold
during a dip, maximizing your investment
- Economic Stability: Gold prices are generally lower during periods of economic stability. Conversely, during
economic crises, prices rise. Purchasing gold during stable times can be more cost-effective.
Gold Rate in Delhi Compared to Other Cities
Gold rates can vary across different cities in India due to transportation costs, local demand, and taxes. Delhi,
being a major metro city, often has slightly higher rates compared to smaller towns. However, the difference is
usually marginal and should not be a significant factor unless you're buying large quantities.
Understanding Gold Purity: 22 carat, and 24 carat
Gold purity is a critical factor when buying gold. Here's a breakdown of what each carat rating signifies:
- 24 carat Gold: This is 99.9% pure gold and is mostly used for investment in coins and bars.
- 22 carat Gold: Comprising 91.6% gold, 22 carat is commonly used in jewelry due to its durability and balance of
purity.
Always ensure the gold you buy is hallmarked to guarantee its purity and authenticity.

seasons.
Today's gold rates in Delhi continue to reflect both global and domestic trends, with small daily shifts for 18K,
22K and 24K gold compared with yesterday.
Historical Gold Price Trends in Delhi
Gold prices in Delhi have shown a long-term upward trend.
This rise reflects global uncertainty, inflation, and changing investment behaviour.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, gold prices had a major spike when investors chose the precious metal as a safe haven
asset amid economic instability.
Since then, gold prices have been stable and strong, supported by economic risks and steady domestic demand.
How to Import Gold into Delhi
Gold import into India, including Delhi, is tightly regulated.
Only entities listed by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) and permitted by the government can import
gold bars for commercial purposes.
These entities need to follow procedures under the Indian customs and trade policy.
Importing gold commercially involves customs clearance, declaration, and payment of duties and taxes, India Filings
stated.
Personal imports, for example, are when individuals can bring gold as baggage after foreign travel.
Indian customs allow passengers to bring gold legally if they declare it and pay applicable duties, the Cochin
Customs Department noted.
Various Methods of Testing Gold in Delhi
Testing gold purity is essential to confirm authenticity before sale or investment.
Common methods include:
- BIS Hallmarking: Gold jewellery should carry a hallmark from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), which
certifies purity.
- Acid Test: A traditional method where acid reacts with the metal to show purity.
- Magnet Test: Real gold is not magnetic; a magnet can give a quick check.
- Density & XRF Tests: Professional stores use machines or X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) devices that give
precise purity readings.
Buyers in Delhi often rely on hallmarking and certified testing centers to avoid fraud.
GST Changes in Gold Rates in Delhi
In India, Goods and Services Tax (GST) applies to gold purchases.
The GST rate on the value of gold (including jewellery, coins, and bars) is 3 % of the gold's value, and a further 5
% GST applies on making charges for jewellery, as per Razorpay.
This tax impacts final consumer prices in Delhi, adding to the metal's base price, which is largely influenced by
import rates and international bullion prices.
Gold Investment Options in Delhi
Apart from physical gold, investors in Delhi can choose from several options.
Gold ETFs and mutual funds allow investment without storage concerns.
Digital gold provides flexibility for small investors and online convenience.
How to Track Gold Prices in Delhi
Gold prices can be tracked through financial news websites like GoodReturns and Livemint, bank websites, and
jewellery store portals, which update rates daily.
Biggest Factors Influencing Gold Price in Delhi
Gold prices change due to a mix of global and domestic variables, including:
- Demand and supply: Traditional occasions like weddings and festivals boost demand.
- Global market movements: International gold prices and macroeconomic trends shift Indian rates.
- Inflation and interest rates: Higher inflation often pushes investors toward gold.
- Currency exchange rates: Since India imports most of its gold, a weaker rupee tends to increase
rupee‑denominated gold prices.
- Government policies: Import duty changes, GST, and customs rules influence domestic prices.
In addition, seasonal demand and geopolitical uncertainty also play a role in pushing prices up.
A Beginner's Guide for Buying & Investing in Gold in Delhi

security.
How Much Gold You Are Allowed to Bring into India Through Customs
- Duty‑free allowance for gold jewellery as baggage: Up to 20 g for men and 40 g for women (or a set value
limit) without customs duty, as per the Customs Department.
- Maximum limit: Typically, gold (jewellery + items) must not exceed 1 kg per passenger for customs
purposes.
If travellers bring more than the duty‑free limit, they must declare and pay taxes on the excess.
Present Import Duties for Gold in Delhi
- Basic Customs Duty + AIDC: Effective around 6 % (5 % basic + 1 % Agriculture Infrastructure and
Development Cess) on imported gold.
- GST on imported gold: 3 % on the value of gold.
These tax levels are crucial in calculating the landing cost of gold in markets like Delhi, as most of the gold sold
here is imported.
Wastage Charges in Delhi
Wastage charges are the additional fees jewellers add to cover manufacturing loss when turning gold into
jewellery.
Wastage can vary by retailer, jewellery design and purity.
While not directly set by the government, wastage charges are part of the final price consumers pay.
Historical Movement of Gold (2010–2025)
- Around 2010: 24K gold traded near ₹18,500 per 10 g.
- Over the next decade: Prices rose steadily due to global demand, inflation, and economic changes.
- In 2025: The average 24K gold price crossed ₹130,000 per 10 g, reaching record highs due to market
conditions.
This long‑term rise highlights gold's role as both a cultural commodity and a financial asset.
Gold Prices in Delhi vs Other Cities
Gold prices vary slightly across Indian cities due to local taxes, jeweller markup, premium, and supply
conditions.
For example, prices in Ahmedabad or Kolkata recently hit historic highs with local premiums due to strong demand and
safe‑haven buying, the Times of India reported.
Although the base commodity price is similar, local factors create differences in the final retail price a buyer pays
in Delhi compared with other markets.
Gold prices in Delhi are affected by import taxes, global prices, GST, local demand, and currency changes.
For buyers and investors, understanding these factors, along with gold purity checks and customs rules, helps in
making smart and informed decisions.
