Gold Rate Today: Sharp Surge in Gold Prices, Check Latest 22-Carat Gold Rate per 10 Grams
National Desk: Gold prices in India have witnessed a sharp rise over the past one week, pushing the yellow metal close to record highs on a weekly basis. According to available data, the price of 24-carat gold has jumped by ₹16,480 per 10 grams over the last seven days. Meanwhile, 22-carat gold has strengthened by around ₹15,100 per 10 grams during the same period.
As per the latest rates, on January 25, 2026, 24-carat gold in Delhi is trading at ₹1,60,410 per 10 grams, while 22-carat gold is priced at ₹1,47,050 per 10 grams.
Gold prices have also been surging in the international market, with spot gold hitting a fresh record high of $4,967.41 per ounce.
Prices in other major Indian cities remain largely in line with Delhi. In Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata, 24-carat gold is selling at ₹1,60,260 per 10 grams, while 22-carat gold is priced at ₹1,46,900 per 10 grams. Similar rates are being recorded in Pune and Bengaluru, where 24-carat gold stands at ₹1,60,260 and 22-carat gold at ₹1,46,900 per 10 grams.
Experts attribute this rally to strong global factors. Investment bank Goldman Sachs has raised its gold price forecast for December 2026. While the earlier estimate stood at $4,900 per ounce, it has now been revised upward to $5,400 per ounce. The brokerage believes that private investors will continue to hold gold as a hedge against global policy risks, which may limit selling pressure in the coming months.
Additionally, expectations of interest rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve are also supporting gold prices. Market participants believe that a reduction in interest rates could boost investments in safe-haven assets such as gold and silver. The upcoming Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting scheduled for January 27 and 28 is being closely watched by investors worldwide.
