Gold prices moved higher today driven by strong safe-haven demand amid rising global geopolitical tensions. Investors are turning cautious, supporting gold prices in both domestic and international markets. In contrast, silver witnessed a decline due to profit booking at higher levels.
Gold Gains on Global Uncertainty, Silver Under Pressure
New Delhi: On the morning of January 10, 2026, gold prices rose across the country, while silver slipped again. Growing geopolitical uncertainty globally and increasing demand for safe-haven investments have strengthened gold. Gold continues to shine in the international market, and its impact is clearly visible in the domestic market.
In the capital Delhi, the price of 24-carat gold was recorded at ₹1,39,470 per 10 grams today, while 22-carat gold reached ₹1,27,860 per 10 grams. In major metropolises like Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata, the price of 24-carat gold remained at ₹1,39,320 and 22-carat gold at ₹1,27,710 per 10 grams.
Pune and Bengaluru are also seeing similar rates, indicating that gold prices are remaining at a consistent level across the country.
In Jaipur, Lucknow, and Chandigarh, the price of 24-carat gold is ₹139,470 and 22-carat gold is ₹127,860 per 10 grams. In Bhopal and Ahmedabad, 24-carat gold is selling at ₹139,370 and 22-carat gold at ₹127,760 per 10 grams.
According to experts, rising tensions between the United States and Venezuela have boosted safe-haven demand for gold. Donald Trump's recent rhetoric and developments related to Nicolas Maduro have increased international uncertainty. Furthermore, rising tensions between the United States and Denmark over Greenland have also supported gold.
In contrast to gold, silver prices have declined. On the morning of January 10th, silver prices fell to ₹248,900 per kilogram. Its spot price in foreign markets was $76.92 per ounce. Although silver has performed well on a year-on-year basis, there are concerns that high prices could put pressure on industrial demand.
Experts believe that gold may remain strong as long as global tensions persist. Meanwhile, silver is likely to continue to fluctuate, so caution is necessary before investing.
