Gold prices in India hit a fresh record high today, continuing their strong rally for the past few sessions. On January 20, 2026, the price of 24 Karat gold rose to Rs 14,728 per gram, gaining Rs 104 from the previous day, while 22 Karat gold climbed to Rs 13,500 per gram, up Rs 95. Over the last two days, gold prices have surged by nearly Rs 35,000 per 100 grams for 24 Karat gold.

Meanwhile, gold prices on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) also touched a new record high on Tuesday morning, as escalating global trade-war risks boosted investor appetite for safe-haven assets while putting pressure on the US dollar.

"Gold and silver are no longer just commodities, they are geopolitics in metal form. When major powers fight over resources like Greenland,

markets instinctively price in risk, and precious metals become the default refuge. This rally reflects not speculation, but a deeper loss of confidence in global stability,'' Mr. Amit Jain, Co-Founder of Ashika Global Family Office Services noted.
