In a festive boost for jewelry enthusiasts and investors alike, gold and silver prices in India edged higher for the second consecutive day on Thursday, propelled by surging demand ahead of the peak wedding

season. The yellow metal, a perennial favorite for nuptial adornments, touched Rs 12,792 per gram for 24-karat purity, while silver followed suit at Rs 169.10 per gram, reflecting sustained investor confidence amid international market gains.As the wedding bells ring across the nation, with over 10 million ceremonies projected between November and February—domestic buying has intensified, pushing local rates to premiums over global benchmarks. On November 27, 24K gold rose Rs 21 from the previous day's Rs 12,771 per gram, translating to Rs 1,27,920 for 10 grams (up Rs 210) and Rs 12,79,200 for 100 grams (up Rs 2,100). The 22K variant, popular for everyday ornaments, climbed marginally by Rs 19 to Rs 11,726 per gram, while 18K gold, often used in alloyed jewelry, inched up Rs 18 to Rs 9,594 per gram.Silver, gaining traction as an affordable alternative, also posted gains, with the metal trading at Rs 169.10 per gram or Rs 1,69,100 per kilogram—up from Rs 168.50 per gram on November 26. This uptick mirrors a broader precious metals rally, with global spot gold at $2,650 per ounce (approximately Rs 7,500 per gram at current exchange rates) and silver at $31.50 per ounce, buoyed by expectations of U.S. Federal Reserve rate cuts and geopolitical uncertainties.City-Wise Breakdown: Where Gold Stands TodayGold prices vary slightly across cities due to local taxes, making charges, and transportation costs.

Rates sourced from aggregated market data; actual prices at jewelers may include 3-5% making charges.Chennai leads with a slight premium on 24K gold, driven by robust South Indian wedding demand, while Delhi's rates reflect import duties and festive stockpiling. Buyers in Kerala and Kolkata, however, enjoy more stable pricing aligned with the national average.Premium Over Dubai: A Tale of Two MarketsIndian gold continues to command a hefty 12% premium over Dubai, a global hub for bullion trading. Yesterday, November 26, 10 grams of 24K gold in India cost Rs 1,26,320, compared to Rs 1,12,816 in the UAE—a gap of Rs 13,504, excluding duties and fees. This disparity stems from India's 3% import duty, 0.25% GST, and high seasonal demand, making domestic purchases pricier but more convenient for local consumers. Experts note that while Dubai offers tax-free allure for bulk buyers, the wedding frenzy often outweighs the savings for Indian families.The global context adds fuel to the fire: Spot gold hovered near $2,650 per ounce overnight, up 0.5% on safe-haven flows amid U.S. economic jitters. Silver, too, rallied 1.2% to $31.50, supported by industrial demand in solar panels and electronics. In India, where gold imports hit 800 tonnes last fiscal year, these trends amplify local volatility.What’s Driving the SurgeThe wedding season, accounting for 50% of annual gold consumption in India, is the immediate catalyst. With auspicious dates clustered in December, jewelers report a 20-30% uptick in footfall. Overlay that with a weakening rupee (at 84.20 against the dollar) and Fed signals for a December rate cut, and the recipe for escalation is complete.Looking forward, analysts predict gold could test Rs 13,000 per gram by year-end if global tensions persist, though a stronger dollar might cap gains. For silver, forecasts are even rosier: A deepening supply crunch in China could propel prices past Rs 200 per gram in 2026, potentially outpacing gold's returns.For investors, this rally underscores gold's role as an inflation hedge—up 25% year-to-date in India. Yet, with premiums at play, timing matters: Festive dips could offer entry points, but experts advise diversification via ETFs or sovereign bonds to mitigate risks.
