Chennai, January 22: Gold prices in India remained close to historic highs on January 22, 2026, as global investors weighed easing trade rhetoric against continued geopolitical uncertainty. Domestic bullion markets showed limited movement after a sharp rally earlier in the week, with prices supported by strong safe-haven demand and currency pressures. Check the current gold rates in major Indian cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Srinagar, Jodhpur, Jaipur, Bhopal, Lucknow, Noida, Ghaziabad, and Gurugram.

In global markets, gold continued to trade near record levels following heightened volatility linked to US trade signals and European geopolitical developments.

The recent surge in bullion prices has been driven largely by uncertainty surrounding tariff policies under US President Donald Trump particularly in relation to Europe and Greenland-linked diplomatic tensions. Although markets saw mild profit-booking after a softer tone from Washington, analysts say underlying sentiment remains bullish as geopolitical risks persist. Gold Rate Today, January 21, 2026: Check 22K & 24K Gold Prices in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Other Cities.
