Analysed 17 Oct 2026·55 sources analysed·Mumbai, India·Business
Gold Prices Show Mixed Trends Amid Rupee Strength and Fed Rate Hike ExpectationsPreviousNext

Gold prices in India showed mixed movements recently, with futures rising to around Rs 1.48 lakh per 10 grams amid firm spot demand, while local market rates remained steady near Rs 1.49 lakh after a volatile week. Silver prices also held steady at Rs 2.15 lakh per kilogram. The strengthening rupee and expectations of a US Federal Reserve rate hike influenced these trends. Prices vary across brands and cities, with buyers advised to check current rates before purchasing.
