While the single-gram rate for 24-carat gold remained unchanged, larger denominations told a slightly more nuanced story of market adjustment. The price for 8 grams of 24-carat gold was recorded at ₹1,25,448, showing a notable departure from the previous day's ₹1,28,448, suggesting a localized correction in bulk trading premiums. Meanwhile, the standard 10-gram and 100-gram segments saw negligible dips, with 10 grams priced at ₹1,58,060 and 100 grams at ₹15,80,600. These minor contractions, though subtle, underscore the sensitive nature of the Delhi market as it reacts to the daily ebb and flow of currency strength and central bank policies.
The 22-carat gold segment, which remains the primary choice for the jewelry industry and retail consumers, also exhibited significant stability. The rate stood at ₹14,490 per gram, unchanged from the previous session. Interestingly, the 10-gram bracket for 22-carat gold saw a slight appreciation to ₹1,44,900 from yesterday’s ₹1,44,000, providing a glimmer of upward momentum for those looking at jewelry as a long-term asset. Conversely, the 18-carat category—often favored for diamond-studded ornaments—remained entirely stagnant across all denominations, with the 10-gram rate holding steady at ₹1,18,590.
This period of relative price consolidation in Delhi is significant for both the retail sector and the broader economy, as it provides a predictable window for wedding-season purchases and institutional investments. While the "change" indicators remained at zero for most categories, the underlying stability suggests that the market has successfully absorbed recent economic shocks. As the fiscal landscape continues to evolve, market analysts will be closely monitoring whether these rates form a new support level or if the upcoming federal fiscal updates will trigger a fresh wave of price discovery in the precious metals sector.
