Gold, Silver Rate Today in India Pull Back as Trump Withdraws Greenland Threats; MCX Prices Slide as Dollar Strengthens on 22 January 2026

Gold and silver prices softened in both domestic and international markets on Thursday, 22 January 2026, after pulling back from recent record highs. The easing in bullion prices was triggered by signs

of cooling tensions surrounding Greenland.

In India, gold prices slipped across karats on 22 January 2026. 24 Karat gold was trading at Rs 15,431 per gram, down Rs 229 from the previous session, while 22 Karat gold fell by Rs 210 to Rs 14,145 per gram. The correction follows a sharp rally earlier in the week, when gold prices climbed to all-time highs.

US President Donald Trump said a "framework of a future deal" had been reached, while also stepping back from earlier threats of imposing tariffs on European countries and proposals related to annexing Greenland. These developments reduced immediate geopolitical risks, leading investors to trim their exposure to safe-haven assets like gold and silver.

Additionally, the US dollar strengthened following the comments, adding pressure on bullion.

"The pivot from aggressive tariff threats to a 'NATO framework' for Greenland has effectively dissolved the immediate geopolitical risk premium. As the spectre of a trade war with Europe recedes, we are seeing classic safe-haven liquidation, with investors rotating back into risk assets as the 'Arctic tension' cools. Gold price on MCX has retraced by nearly -7% from its all-time high level and on the other hand, Silver price has declined by Rs.30,000 from ATH level, down by -8.75%, " said Aamir Makda, Commodity & Currency Analyst, Choice Broking.

"Despite today's dip in gold prices following easing geopolitical concerns, investor interest remains structurally strong. For many investors, these pullbacks are viewed as opportunities to enter or build exposure at slightly lower levels, especially within a broader precious-metals allocation that also includes silver," said Saurabh Jain, Co-founder & CEO, Stable Money.
