Gold prices in India remained largely steady on Saturday, September 19, following a strong rise in the previous trading session. According to the latest Goodreturns benchmark, 24K gold is priced at Rs 1,54,430 per 10 grams, while 22K gold stands at Rs 1,41,560 and 18K gold at Rs 1,15,830 per 10 grams.

All three purity categories recorded a marginal increase of Rs 10 per 10 grams compared with Friday’s benchmark, indicating limited movement in domestic retail gold prices.

MCX Gold Update

the MCX October 5, 2026 gold contract was quoted at Rs 1,54,263 per 10 grams, marking a gain of Rs 1,282, or 0.84%, from the previous close of Rs 1,52,981.

The contract opened at Rs 1,52,250 per 10 grams and recorded an intraday range of Rs 1,52,171 to Rs 1,54,600. The average price stood at Rs 1,53,817.88 per 10 grams, while open interest was reported at 8,101 contracts, down 4.01%.

The relatively stable domestic rates come after a strong recovery in international gold prices on Friday. Spot gold climbed to a one-week high, supported by easing inflation concerns following a decline in crude oil prices. The precious metal also remained resilient amid the latest interest-rate move by the US Federal Reserve.

With Indian commodity markets closed on Saturday, market participants are expected to track developments in global bullion markets and the previous session’s MCX gold performance for indications of the direction of prices when domestic trading resumes.

Gold prices continue to remain closely watched by jewellery manufacturers, retailers, bullion traders and consumers amid elevated domestic and international bullion rates.
