Gold's strong rally continues, with prices recording a marginal uptick today, October 10, in India. However, global markets are showing some respite as the record-breaking surge in the yellow metal has subsided, with it trading below the $4,000 mark. One of the main reasons for rising gold prices is global volatility caused by unprecedented geopolitical tensions.
In India, with festive season demand on the rise, gold prices are expected to increase further. This week alone, prices have surged by 4%, signaling a strong rally and renewed interest in safe-haven assets.
With many parts of India celebrating Karwa Chauth today, here is a breakdown of gold prices across all categories, along with a city-wise list as per the data published by Good returns.
| Gold Category | Rate per Gram (INR) | Rate for 10 Grams (INR) |
| 24 Karat Gold | Rs 12,416 | Rs 124,160 |
| 22 Karat Gold | Rs 11,381 | Rs 113,810 |
| 18 Karat Gold | Rs 9,312 | Rs 93,120 |
Around the world, financial organisations - both public and private - are taking a note of sharp rally in trading of yellow metal volumes. Not only physical but digital gold is also witnessing an increased interest from the investors. Analysts say that this can also be a possible reason for changes in rate movement for short-term.

The central bank is expected to continue making measured, incremental purchases in line with its reserve diversification objectives.
