Gold Price Today: Gold prices in India opened lower on the first day of the week, with silver also witnessing a decline. Precious metal rates in the domestic market continue to be influenced by a combination of global cues and local factors, including international spot prices, currency movement, and demand trends. As of Monday morning, December 15, 2025, gold prices eased in several major cities, while silver also traded in the red.
According to the latest data, the international spot price of gold stood at $4,338.40 per ounce, which weighed slightly on domestic prices. In India, the fall comes after a strong performance over the past week, during which gold prices had shown notable gains.
On Monday morning, 24-carat gold prices in Delhi slipped to ₹1,34,060 per 10 grams, reflecting a mild decline compared to the previous session. Meanwhile, 22-carat gold in the national capital is trading at ₹1,22,890 per 10 grams.
Despite today’s dip, gold has delivered solid returns recently. Over the last one week, 24-carat gold has gained nearly ₹3,770 per 10 grams, while 22-carat gold has risen by around ₹3,450 per 10 grams, highlighting the underlying strength in the bullion market.
Here’s a look at the latest gold prices across some of India’s major cities:
Delhi:
22-carat gold: ₹1,22,890 per 10 grams
24-carat gold: ₹1,34,060 per 10 grams
Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata:

Even with short-term fluctuations, gold has delivered an exceptional performance in the domestic market this year. Gold prices in India have surged by nearly 65% so far in 2025, driven by global economic uncertainty, central bank buying, geopolitical tensions, and currency movements.
Market experts believe that if global conditions remain stable and the rupee either stays weak or trades in a narrow range against the US dollar, gold prices could rise further by 5% to 16% in 2026. Persistent inflation risks and expectations of policy shifts by major central banks could also continue to support gold’s long-term outlook.
Silver prices mirrored gold’s weakness on Monday morning. In the domestic market, silver slipped to ₹1,97,900 per kilogram, marking a decline at the start of the week. However, silver has still posted gains recently, rising by ₹8,000 per kilogram over the past week.
In the international market, the spot price of silver stood at $64.57 per ounce, reflecting cautious sentiment among traders.
Gold and silver prices in India are shaped by several key factors, including:
Global spot prices and international demand
Movement in the rupee-dollar exchange rate
Interest rate outlook in major economies
Domestic demand during wedding and festive seasons
Geopolitical developments and inflation trends
Gold and silver prices have started the week on a softer note in India, following recent gains. While short-term volatility remains, the broader trend for precious metals continues to be supported by strong fundamentals. Investors and buyers are advised to keep an eye on global market developments and currency movements before making purchasing decisions.
