Market Stability Amid National Holiday

With domestic commodity markets, including the Multi-Commodity Exchange (MCX), closed for the Republic Day public holiday, physical gold rates in major cities have largely mirrored the closing prices from the weekend. This consolidation follows a dramatic surge on January 24, when prices jumped by over INR 3,000 per 10 grams in a single session, driven by shifts in the international market. Dubai Gold Rate Today: 18K, 22K, 24K Gold Prices for January 25.

Analysts attribute the current high-price environment to a complex mix of global factors. "Safe-haven" demand remains strong due to persistent geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and new tariff uncertainties in the West, which have collectively pushed gold prices up by nearly 18 per cent since the start of the year.
