Gold prices inch up marginally, with 24K at ₹15,236 per gram amid range-bound market trends. (File Image)Gold prices nudged higher on Friday, reversing the minor decline seen in the previous session. According to Good Returns data, 24-carat gold rose to ₹15,236 per gram, while 22-carat and 18-carat gold climbed to Rs 13,966 and Rs 11,427 per gram respectively.The uptick was marginal — 24K gold, preferred by investors for its purity, gained just Rs 1 per gram — but was broad-based across all variants, suggesting a steady rather than reactive market.Despite the increase, the price movement remains limited, suggesting that the market is still largely range-bound, with no strong directional trigger emerging from global cues.
