Gold Prices in Chandigarh Soar Amid Global Rally
Gold prices in Chandigarh have surged on Thursday, August 13, 2026, following global trends. The price of 24-karat gold rose to ₹15,528 per gram, while 22-karat gold increased to ₹14,235 per gram. In comparison to the previous day, 24K gold gained ₹27 per gram, and 22K gold increased by ₹25 per gram.
The global market is also experiencing a rally in gold prices due to softer US inflation data and reduced expectations of an interest-rate hike by the Federal Reserve at its September meeting. Spot gold was trading around $4,408.55 per ounce after briefly reaching a two-month high. This decline in interest rates reduces the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding precious metals like gold.
The local market is also influenced by international bullion movements, the rupee-dollar exchange rate, import-related costs, and jewellery demand. However, it's essential to note that these prices are indicative and do not include GST, TCS, making charges, or other applicable levies. Buyers should verify with their jewellers for exact purchase rates.
