India — City-wise example rates (today)
Retail gold rates vary by city because of local making charges, taxes, and dealer premiums. Below are sample today rates published by popular Indian financial/price sites (copy-free, paraphrased):
| City / Market | 24K (10 g) — Approx. | 22K (10 g) — Approx. | Source (snapshot) |

Exact retail rates depend on the shop's making charge and local taxes. Use the city-specific rate pages from jewellery/financial portals for the live city quote before buying.
How gold rate is calculated (brief)
- International spot price (London LBMA auction / global spot) and futures (COMEX/CME) set the USD price per troy ounce. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
- Currency conversion (USD → local currency) using current forex rates converts the international level into local currency terms.
- Local taxes (GST in India), import duty (where applicable), and a dealer making/premium are added to determine retail jewellery prices; bullion or investment bars may have lower premiums. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
Why the price moved today (key drivers)
Several common factors move gold prices on any trading day; recent sessions have been influenced by:
- Global economic data & Fed rate expectations: Shifts in inflation or Fed policy expectations often drive gold (as a non-interest-bearing safe-haven) — weaker growth or rate-cut expectations tend to lift gold. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
- Dollar strength / weakness: USD moves change the local-currency converted price; a weaker dollar usually supports higher gold in USD terms.
- Jewellery demand & festivals: In India, festival buying (Dhanteras/Diwali season) raises local demand and can push retail rates higher. Recent festival season demand contributed to earlier peaks and subsequent short corrections. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
- Positioning & profit-booking: Fast rallies sometimes trigger profit-taking, leading to temporary pullbacks (observed in recent volatile sessions). :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
MCX (India futures) & global futures
In India, MCX futures reflect trader positioning in rupee terms and often move with global futures adjusted for INR changes. Global futures on the CME (COMEX) show the international trader view and are the main reference for institutional flow. For exact contract-level prices check the exchange data (CME for COMEX; MCX for Indian gold futures). :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}
How to check live gold rates (recommended)
- For international spot: check LBMA / major market trackers or TradingEconomics for aggregated live spot quotes. :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}
- For US futures (COMEX): use CME Group quotes and your broker or market data feed. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}
- For India retail: check city pages on reputable aggregators (GoodReturns, BankBazaar, LiveMint, Gadgets360) or the jeweller you plan to buy from for the latest making charges and GST-inclusive price. :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}
Practical buying & investing tips
- Compare the shop's making charge and GST—small differences in making % can change final price significantly for jewellery.
- If buying for investment, consider sovereign gold bonds, ETFs, or 24K bullion bars where premiums may be lower than jewellery.
- Watch the international spot/futures and INR movement — a falling USD-INR can sometimes offset international gold gains, or vice versa.
- Ask for a printed invoice and hallmark certification when buying physical jewellery/bars.
