Gold and silver prices in India saw a mild decline on Wednesday, the final trading day of the year. According to market data, the price of 24-carat gold fell by ₹10, settling at ₹1,36,190 per 10 grams. 22-carat gold also eased by the same margin and was priced at ₹1,24,840 per 10 grams.
Silver prices declined more sharply, dropping by ₹100 to trade at ₹2,39,900 per kilogram.
Prices across major cities reflected similar trends. In Mumbai and Kolkata, 24-carat gold was quoted at ₹1,36,190 per 10 grams, while Delhi rates were slightly higher. Chennai continued to see marginally elevated prices compared to other metros.
The modest fall in gold and silver prices comes as global markets remain cautious, with investors adjusting positions ahead of the year-end. Experts say the small dip is largely technical and does not indicate any major shift in demand.
For buyers, the softer rates may offer a short-term opportunity, especially as precious metals continue to remain firm overall due to ongoing global uncertainties.
