Gold Price Today: Should You Buy Gold Today? Prices May Dip Before Festival Season

Ready to sparkle? Despite all the noise from trade tensions, tariffs, and geopolitical drama, gold prices in India are holding steady. Today, 24 karat gold shines at ₹10,003 per gram, 22 karat at ₹9,170, and 18 karat (aka 999 gold) at ₹7,503. Gold’s timeless appeal isn’t just about bling — it’s a trusty shield against inflation that savvy investors love. So, thinking of adding some golden magic to your portfolio? Remember, while markets wobble, gold often keeps its glitter.

MCX Gold futures for August 5, 2025, are trading at ₹98,384 per 10 grams, down ₹253 from the previous close. The MCX Gold Mini contract stands at ₹97,505 per 10 grams. Another source reports the August 5 contract down 0.26% at ₹98,725 per 10 grams. MCX Gold contracts represent 1 kilogram, while Gold Mini contracts cover 100 grams. The price difference between MCX gold futures and physical gold reflects factors like international gold prices, USD-INR exchange rates, import duties, premiums or discounts, and the nature of futures contracts, which fix prices for a future date unlike spot rates

Ways To Invest In Gold (Without Digging A Mine Yourself)

  • Shiny and Tangible (Physical Gold)
    Love the feel of real gold? Coins, bars, or that heirloom-style necklace — pick them up from trusted jewellers. Just don’t forget the locker fees!
  • Swipe & Shine (Gold ETFs)
    Too busy for safes and vaults? Gold ETFs let you invest in the glitter without carrying the weight — literally. All digital, all liquid.
  • Bond With Gold (Sovereign Gold Bonds)
    Backed by the government and paying interest too? SGBs are like gold’s overachieving cousin — stable, smart, and tax-efficient (if held till maturity).
  • Tap-to-Glitter (Digital Gold)
    Buy gold online, anytime, anywhere — no storage, no stress. Great for those who love both convenience and karats.
  • Strike Gold (Mining Stocks)
    Why buy the metal when you can own the mine? Invest in gold mining companies and ride the wave when gold prices climb.
