Gold Rate Today in India, Check 22K, 24K Gold Price in India on November 18, 2024: The gold MCX futures contracts with the expiry of December 2024 were quoted for Rs 74,031 per 10 gm
Gold prices in India have fallen by 4% over the past ten days, making it an attractive option for buyers. Recent reports indicate that gold in India is now cheaper than in countries like Oman, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Qatar.
Traditionally, many shoppers buy gold and precious jewelry from duty-free shops in the Middle East. However, with the current price advantage in India, travelers may find it more cost-effective to consider local Indian markets for better deals.
One key factor contributing to higher gold prices in the Middle East is the ongoing geopolitical tensions in the region. The Israel-driven conflict has intensified demand for gold, a well-known safe-haven investment during periods of uncertainty. As a result, the prices of gold and silver have surged in regional markets.
In contrast, gold prices in India have dropped, in line with global trends, which have seen the yellow metal experience its sharpest weekly decline in over three years. Spot prices in the United States dropped by 4.5%, bringing the metal to a two-month low of around $2,563.25 per troy ounce.

Experts on Gold & Silver Outlook
Commenting on the gold outlook Jateen Trivedi, VP Research Analyst – Commodity and Currency, LKP Securities said that “Gold’s weakness persisted with price falling below 2550$ and near 73500rs in MCX as the dollar climbed above 106.50 and edged closer to 107. The US CPI data, which came in higher at 2.6% compared to the expected 2.4%, fueled the dollar’s strength.
Trivedi also added that the Fed has been continuing with rate cuts as inflation approached its 2% target, the higher-than-expected CPI reading raises concerns that further cuts may be paused. This development added pressure on gold prices, which reacted negatively to the stronger dollar and the potential shift in Fed policy.
