Why gold prices are moving today
Gold prices in India have seen mild volatility after a sharp rally earlier in the week. The precious metal surged globally due to safe-haven demand linked to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, before witnessing slight profit-booking.
Internationally, spot gold has been trading around $5,100 per ounce after touching record highs, while domestic prices remain elevated as investors continue to track global uncertainties and currency movements.
Prices similar across major cities
Gold prices in Kolkata, Mumbai, Delhi and other major Indian cities typically remain very close because they track the same international benchmarks, import duties and currency fluctuations.
However, minor variations can occur depending on local demand, transportation costs and jeweller margins, while jewellery purchases may include additional making charges.
