Will Gold, Silver Get Costlier After Import Curbs and Duty Hike? Check 24K, 22K, 18K Rates Today In Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata
Gold, Silver Price Today, Wednesday, April 29: Gold prices in India dropped on Wednesday, 29 April 2026, as rates across 18K to 24K categories moved lower in today’s morning session. Price decline comes as international bullion markets continue to see volatile trends, with investors closely watching for trends in the U.S. dollar, rising crude oil prices, and the overall macroeconomy. Gold under pressure despite a softer dollar
The US dollar traded slightly lower against a basket of major global currencies, which typically supports gold by making it cheaper for overseas buyers. However, the dollar has still gained about 0.2% so far this week, keeping overall volatility intact.
At the same time, rising crude oil prices have added to inflation concerns. High inflationary figures could mean that interest rates remain elevated for an extended period, increasing the appeal of interest-yielding assets such as bonds over their non-yielding counterparts like gold and silver and hence putting downward pressure on bullions.
Domestically, gold prices mirror global trends and respond to domestic demand dynamics, with today’s session registering a downward bias at the time of writing.
24K gold (999 purity): ₹15,370 per gram
22K gold (jewellery grade): ₹14,089 per gram
