Gold hits record in India as 24-carat prices surge to ₹14,215/g

Gold prices in India surged to a new record on January 13, with 24-carat gold climbing to around ₹14,215 per gram after a sharp three-day rally. The jump was driven by strong global cues, rising geopolitical tensions, and renewed safe-haven buying. Analysts say expectations of US rate cuts and a weaker dollar further fuelled the bullion surge.
