Gold prices jump to ₹13,048/gram in India

Business Dec 01, 2025

Gold prices climbed on Monday, with 24K gold now at ₹13,048 per gram.
Prices for 22K and 18K gold also went up.

Why does this matter?

Gold is getting more expensive because people see it as a safe bet when the economy feels shaky—especially with US retail sales slowing down and inflation rising.
With talk of a possible US interest rate cut soon, both investors and central banks are snapping up gold.

What's behind the surge?

The buzz is all about global uncertainty: high debt levels, geopolitical tension, and hints from the US Federal Reserve that rates might drop.
Even silver prices are spiking, showing that precious metals are having a moment both in India and worldwide.
