Chandigarh Gold Prices Surge Amid Weaker US Dollar
Gold prices in Chandigarh surged on September 8, 2026, as they tracked strength across domestic and global bullion markets. The price of 24-karat gold stood at ₹15,550 per gram, while 22-karat gold was priced at ₹14,255 per gram. In contrast, the rate for 18-karat gold stood at ₹11,666 per gram.
The rise in bullion prices came amid weakness in the US dollar, which supported demand for non-yielding assets such as gold. A weaker US dollar made gold relatively more attractive for buyers using other currencies, given that gold is priced globally in dollars.
Globally, precious metals gained despite a sharp increase in crude oil prices. Investors are tracking global interest rate expectations, US economic data, and geopolitical developments for further direction in bullion prices.
