Gold and Silver Prices Crash! 24K Gold at ₹1.42 Lakh on November 1, 2026; Silver Hits 11-Month Low
New Delhi: The bullion market witnessed sharp volatility this week amid the festive season. On Saturday, heavy selling pressure in international markets pulled down domestic gold and silver prices. According to the India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA), 24-carat gold with 99.9% purity fell by ₹3,200 to ₹1,42,000 per 10 grams in Delhi, its lowest level in 10 months.
Silver takes a bigger hit: Silver fell more sharply than gold. In Delhi, silver dropped by ₹4,200 to ₹1,86,000 per kilogram. In Kanpur, silver fell by ₹5,000 to ₹1,85,000 per kg, while gold stood at ₹1,41,200 per 10 grams. Market analysts say rising crude oil prices, hawkish comments from the US Federal Reserve, and AI-driven selling in equity markets pushed investors to book profits in precious metals.
