The gold price in India today stands at Rs 15,071 per gram for 24 carat gold, Rs 13,815 per gram for 22 carat gold and Rs 11,303 per gram for 18 carat gold, as per Good Returns.Gold Rate Today: The gold price in India today stands at Rs 15,071 per gram for 24 carat gold, Rs 13,815 per gram for 22 carat gold and Rs 11,303 per gram for 18 carat gold, as per Good Returns.The price of 24K gold today, October 9, 2026, in India, stands at Rs 15,071 per gram, reflecting an increase of Rs 114 over that on October 8.Similarly, the price of 22K and 18K gold currently stands at Rs 13,815 per gram and Rs 11,303 per gram for 18 carat gold, marking an increase of Rs 105 and Rs 85 respectively over the prices on October 8.However Vikram Subburaj, CEO, Giottus.com says that, “on October 9, both gold and silver enters the session with different underlying positions. December gold ended Thursday 0.42% higher at ₹1,49,735 per 10 grams. This was close to its intraday high of ₹1,49,941. Its open interest, however, fell 0.75%. This suggests that short-covering contributed to the rise. So, a move above ₹1,50,000 is needed before the recovery can be treated as stronger buying.”He further added, “the international lead is favourable. Spot gold has risen 0.9% to $4,169 an ounce, while silver has recovered 1.1% to $60. The rupee’s decline to 96.7750 against the dollar should provide additional support to domestic prices. Easing US Treasury yields and a pause in the dollar’s rally have helped bullion, although expectations of another US rate increase remain a constraint.”Also Read | US Iran War Live News Updates: Scott Bessent says US will keep targeting those enabling Iranian oil salesPurityGramsToday (INR)24 Carat10gRs 15,07122 Carat10gRs 13,81518 Carat10gRs 11,303City Wise RateCity24K22K18KChennaiRs 15,071Rs 13,815Rs 11,350MumbaiRs 15,071Rs 13,815Rs 11,303DelhiRs 15,086Rs 13,830Rs 11,318KolkataRs 15,071Rs 13,815Rs 11,303BangaloreRs 15,071Rs 13,815Rs 11,303HyderabadRs 15,071Rs 13,815Rs 11,303PuneRs 15,071Rs 13,815Rs 11,303VadodaraRs 15,076Rs 13,820Rs 11,308AhmedabadRs 15,076Rs 13,820Rs 11,308Tensions in West AsiaAl Jazeera reported that Iranian naval forces are carrying out nightly patrols in the Strait of Hormuz to target ships that violate local regulations, according to an IRGC political deputy. On the diplomatic front, US President Donald Trump confirmed that Washington is engaged in “productive” discussions with Iran and committed to holding off on any military strikes before the upcoming November 3 midterms.A 60-day maritime armistice brokered by the US and Iran in mid-June 2026 has disintegrated, replacing brief shipping lane stability with renewed missile strikes and mounting maritime risk. The failure of the agreement prompted both states to recommence active military operations and disband formal diplomatic channels. Consequently, fears of global energy disruption have driven a major safe-haven rally in precious metals, sending domestic and spot gold prices surging alongside foreign exchange instability and recent import duty revisions.
