Gold prices have experienced a downward trend this week, driven by a significant easing of global geopolitical tensions following the recent US-Iran peace agreement and the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon.

Gold and silver exchange-traded funds (ETFs) came under selling pressure on Friday as precious metal prices remained on track for a third consecutive weekly decline.

The weakness followed a stronger US dollar and hawkish signals from the US Federal Reserve, which weighed on bullion prices.

IBJA has released the latest indicative retail selling rates.

Metal / Purity	Retail Selling Rate
Fine Gold (999) / 24K	Rs. 14,497 per gram
22K Gold	Rs. 14,149 per gram
20K Gold	Rs. 12,902 per gram
18K Gold	Rs. 11,743 per gram
14K Gold	Rs. 9,351 per gram
Silver (999)	Rs. 2,31,973 per kg

These baseline rates serve as market indicators and are strictly exclusive of the mandatory 3% Goods and Services Tax (GST) as well as any additional making charges applied by individual jewelers.
