What Is Moving Gold This Week?

Price cooled from the 10-11 October high. 24K gold traded above ₹1,51,000 per 10 grams at the start of the weekend and has since eased to around ₹1,47,400.
Global gold is softer. Spot gold is trading near $4,140 per ounce, slightly lower on the day.
Fed and inflation watch. Strong US inflation numbers and uncertainty about the Federal Reserve's next move keep prices volatile.
Import duty at 15%. Duty raised in May continues to keep domestic prices elevated compared with global rates.

Gold Price Trend: Where Are We Now?

Gold touched an all-time high above ₹1,80,000 per 10 grams in January 2026. Today's 24K rate of around ₹1,47,400 is roughly 18% below that peak, but it is still far higher than a year ago. For festive buyers, this means gold is cheaper than the January peak, though not cheap in absolute terms.

Should You Buy Gold During Navratri?

Many families buy gold on auspicious days such as Dussehra and Dhanteras. A simple approach is to avoid putting your full budget on one day, because daily rates can move by 1% or more.

Split your purchase. Buy part of your budget now and the rest closer to Dhanteras (6 November).
Compare per-gram rates. Check the day's 22K or 24K rate before you step into the shop.
Ask about making charges. Making charges vary widely and can add significantly to the final bill. On gold jewellery, 3% GST is charged on the total value, including making charges.
Check the hallmark. Look for the BIS hallmark with a 6-digit HUID on every piece.
Consider coins or bars if you want lower making charges and plan to hold gold as an investment.
Book in advance. Some jewellers let you lock today's rate with an advance payment. Confirm the terms in writing.

How to Calculate Your Final Gold Price

Final price = (Weight in grams × today's per-gram rate + making charges) + 3% GST. For example, a 10-gram 22K item at ₹13,515 per gram costs ₹1,35,150 before making charges and GST, so always request an itemised bill.

Prices have eased from the 10-11 October high, but they stay volatile. Many buyers stagger purchases across Navratri, Dussehra and Dhanteras instead of buying everything at once.

Will gold prices rise before Dhanteras?
