Gold prices today in your city: Check cost in Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, New Delhi, Kolkata on September 18

Gold and silver prices in your city on September 18: Price of the yellow metal declined in domestic futures trade today, on September 18, as traders cut positions due to firm recovery in the US Dollar. The dollar firm up came after the US Federal Reserve's cautious policy stance dampened bullion's rally.

On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), gold futures for October delivery depreciated ₹612 or 0.56 per cent to ₹1,09,210 per 10 grams. And the December contract also diminished ₹566 or 0.51 per cent to ₹1,10,300 per 10 grams.

Gold, Silver are still ‘safe haven’ investments, say experts

Overall, however, experts feel that gold and silver are safe haven bets that investors can make to safeguard their portfolios in these volatile markets and with increased risk aversion.

According to Aksha Kamboj, Vice President, India Bullion & Jewellers Association (IBJA) and Executive Chairperson, Aspect, the US Fed rate cut “bolsters the argument for gold's safe-haven appeal”.

She feels that gold is expected to remain at high levels in the near future, noting, “Unless there is a steep reversal in the rupee or an unexpected hawkish turn by central banks worldwide, the upbeat bias should continue. Jewellery demand would remain robust as well, although shoppers might still favor lighter, value-effective designs to maximise their rupee.”

Over the past 20 years, gold prices have skyrocketed by an impressive 1,200 per cent from ₹7,638 in 2005 to over ₹1,00,000 in 2025 (till June), and delivered positive returns in 16 of these years. Year-to-date (YTD), gold prices have risen 31 per cent, with consistent record highs solidifying its position among 2025’s top-performing asset classes and a reliable hedge.

On silver, Kamboj felt it continues to gain not only from the rate cuts and safe-haven demand, but also from more robust industrial demand and supply constraints in place. “The price outlook remains bullish for silver, and even more so than for gold in terms of percentages, provided that industrial demand stays strong and speculative interest continues. That being said, silver can have steeper swings, as its markets are more volatile and sensitive to industrial / demand-side risk,” she added.

Silver prices have held above the ₹1 lakh/kg mark for the past few months now; and over the past 20 years (2005-2025), the shiny metal has gained a solid 668.84 per cent.
