Gold Rates Today, 15 May 2026: Gold went to bed early for buyers as Indian domestic gold rates dived after shining like the 2026 financial superstar for weeks. In Delhi, 24 Karat gold dropped to ₹1,56,450 per 10 grams, while 22 Karat followed suit at ₹1,43,410 and 18 Karat slipped to ₹1,17,340 per 10 grams. The biggest shocker? Prices crashed nearly ₹6,200 per 10 grams from yesterday’s close, giving the bullion market a sudden reality check after its massive rally. Online jewellery shoppers and wedding buyers may see this sharp dip as a rare “limited-time offer” before prices potentially rebound again.
Gold Rates On MCX Today
The gold market on Thursday morning looked less like a safe haven and more like a roller coaster. MCX Gold Futures for June delivery dropped nearly 1% to around ₹1,60,355 per 10 grams as traders rushed to book profits. Spot gold prices across the globe fell to nearly $4,593.80 per ounce as spooked investors reacted to a mix of rising crude oil prices, a firmer US Dollar, and higher bond yields. With inflation worries heating up again, a quick US rate cut looks less likely, and gold prices are feeling the impact.
