Gold Rate Today: According to a Goldman Sachs report, about 70 per cent of global institutional investors have predicted gold prices to rise this new year. As we began the year 2026, the gold market in India showed a modest improvement following a significant correction at the close of 2025.
After falling over the weekend, with 24-karat gold rates in India having plummeted by more than 4 per cent, the prices of yellow metal have rebounded today, driven largely by the US-Venezuela conflict.
Continuing with the upward trend from yesterday, the gold prices modestly increased today across all categories.
