Gold Prices Remain Stable Across India, but Potential Rally on the Horizon
Gold prices in India remained relatively stable on August 14, 2026, according to rates quoted by top jewellers. Joyalukkas and Malabar Gold & Diamonds both listed their 22K gold prices at ₹14,220 per gram and ₹14,195 per gram respectively across major states. Tanishq's 22K gold rate was slightly lower at ₹14,160 per gram.
The presence of alloyed metals in 22K gold provides greater strength and durability compared to the more pure but less durable 24-karat gold. Market participants will be keeping an eye on global economic data, US interest rate expectations, and currency movements for further direction in precious metal prices.
According to Vandana Bharti of SMC Global, gold may rally to ₹1.48 lakh in one to two weeks despite the current correction. This prediction suggests a potential increase in gold prices, which could be influenced by various market factors.
