Mixed economic signals continue to steer precious metal prices in India, with gold registering a modest uptick on Thursday, January 15, 2026. Factors such
as shifting global market sentiment, movements in the US dollar, inflation expectations, and domestic buying interest played a key role in influencing today’s rates. Gold and silver, beyond being investment assets, hold deep cultural significance in India and see consistent demand during festive seasons and wedding celebrations. On January 15, 2026, gold prices across the country showed a slight increase compared to the previous session. The price of 24-carat gold, which contains 99.9 per cent pure gold and is typically preferred for investment purposes, stood at Rs 14,401 per gram. Meanwhile, 22-carat gold, widely used in jewellery-making due to its durability, was priced at Rs 13,201 per gram. Analysts attribute this marginal rise to supportive global bullion prices and cautious optimism among investors amid ongoing economic uncertainties.
