Gold prices in India continued their upward trajectory on Monday, October 13, driven by strong festive demand and global safe-haven buying amid geopolitical concerns. According to data from GoodReturns, the price of 24-carat gold rose by ₹32 per gram to ₹12,540, compared to ₹12,508 yesterday.
Similarly, 22-carat gold prices increased by ₹30 to ₹11,495 per gram, while 18-carat gold climbed ₹24 to reach ₹9,405 per gram. This marks the third consecutive session of gains for the precious metal.
