9K, 14K gold rate today on October 15: Looking for budget jewelry for Dhanteras, Diwali? All you need to know

9K, 14K gold rate today on October 15: The blazing rally in gold and other precious metals has sparked new interest in light weight jewellery options. With Dhanteras and Diwali around the corner, the traditional purchasing patterns may shift to budget options due to soaring prices of 24K, 22K and 18K gold variants.

In India, while 9K and 14K gold has been available mostly termed as ‘everyday’ or ‘office wear’, this year’s glittering rally in yellow metal has renewed interest.

Talking about the latest trend, Senco Gold & Diamonds MD and CEO Suvankar Sen told Moneycontrol: "Consumers are looking at lower caratage jewellery in 18K, 14K or 9K to match their demands and budgets. Whether it is in gold and diamond. Though the base and share of the purities is lower than 22K but curiosity, demand and growth is being higher than 22K."

He further said that, "the impact of record high prices has led to increase in business in terms of value gems by more than 20-25 percent till now and the momentum continues. However, in terms of volume, there has been a dip of 12-15 percent. Also, there has been a substantial rise of exchange of old gold from customer side to buy new jewellery by almost 25 percent since last year which will surely help the Indian economy to strengthen as imports should go down due to this customer action."

The strong traction will define the festive demand trend. On the festive quarter trends, Renisha Chainani, Head of Research, Augmont said, "Q2 business updates from leading jewellers like Titan, Kalyan, and Senco indicate moderate festive demand and strong traction in lightweight and studded jewelry segments. Margins are steady due to better product mix and inventory management. Investors are watching the festive quarter closely, as sustained high prices may cap volume recovery but support profitability through premium designs and brand-driven demand."

Studded jewellery across Tanishq, Mia, and Zoya registered mid-teen growth, outpacing the performance of plain gold jewellery. Gold coins, meanwhile, maintained their strong momentum during the quarter, reflecting sustained investment demand in the segment. The Tata group firm said in a stock exchange filing that like-for-like growth for both Tanishq and CaratLane remained in double digits.
