25. Over the past few sessions, prices have remained largely stable. Notably, the 24-carat gold rate per gram shows no change compared to yesterday, staying flat at Rs 16,026. Similar marginal or zero movement is seen across other purity levels as well. Gold rates in India are shaped by a mix of international and domestic influences. Global gold prices, movements in the US dollar, geopolitical developments, and interest rate expectations all play a role. On the local front, import duties, taxes, and seasonal jewellery demand significantly affect retail prices. As a result, gold rates can differ slightly from one city to another despite tracking the same global benchmarks. City-Wise Gold Prices in Major Indian Markets

Why Gold Continues To Be A Safe-Haven Asset?
For generations, gold has acted as a store of value rather than just a commodity. During periods of high inflation, currency depreciation, or stock market volatility, investors often turn to gold to safeguard their wealth. Its limited supply and universal acceptance help support prices even when other asset classes struggle. In India, demand further rises during wedding seasons and festivals, adding a strong domestic dimension to global price trends.
Silver Rates Today: January 25
Alongside gold, silver also remains on investors’ radar. Currently, silver is priced at Rs 335 per gram and Rs 3,35,000 per kilogram in India. While it is more affordable than gold, silver enjoys steady demand for both jewellery and industrial applications. Its price movements are closely linked to global market trends, particularly industrial demand and manufacturing activity.
