New Delhi: Tuesday morning proved expensive for those buying gold and silver. Due to the rise in domestic and international markets, the prices of precious metals have once again increased. From investors to jewellery buyers, everyone is keeping an eye on today’s latest rates.
What are the rates of gold and silver today?
On June 16, 2026, 24 carat gold in the country is priced between Rs 1.53 lakh and Rs 1.59 lakh for 10 grams. Whereas 22 carat gold is around Rs 1.40 lakh to Rs 1.46 lakh per 10 grams. Talking about silver, its price has reached Rs 2.60 lakh to Rs 2.65 lakh per kg in many markets. There may be a slight difference in the rate due to taxes and local charges of the city.
Why is gold becoming expensive?
Experts say that due to economic uncertainty around the world, fluctuations in the dollar and increasing demand for ‘safe investment’, the purchase of gold is continuously increasing. The strength in the international market is also having a direct impact on the Indian bullion market.
Why did silver rise more than gold?
Silver even left gold behind. Silver continues to remain strong due to increasing demand in the industry and interest from investors. For this reason, its prices remain close to record levels.
What is the signal for investors?
Market experts believe that fluctuations in gold and silver may continue in the coming days. In such a situation, investors should take any decision only after watching the market movements. Hasty buying and selling can prove costly.
What to keep in mind before buying jewellery?
While buying gold, definitely check the hallmark and confirm the latest rate of your city. Making charges andGST are levied separately on jewellery, hence the final rate in the bill will be higher than the market rate.
