Gold Prices Decline on October 12 Amid Stronger Rupee and Global Market Weakness
Gold prices in India declined on October 12, 2026, influenced by a stronger rupee and weaker global markets. The 24-karat gold price fell by around Rs 1,400 per 10 grams in major cities, with variations across regions due to taxes and demand. Silver prices also dropped. Analysts linked the decline to currency appreciation, subdued physical demand, and softer international bullion prices amid expectations of US Federal Reserve interest rate decisions and geopolitical developments. On October 13, gold prices showed slight recovery but remained below previous levels.
