Gold prices fall sharply, know the latest price of 22 carat and 24 carat. Gold Price

Gold Price: In recent weeks, gold prices have created a new history and touched such heights which no one had expected. But nothing remains stable in the market and now the decline in gold prices has started once again. On 21 June 2025, a slight but noticeable decrease in gold prices has been seen in the Indian bullion market. This decline is proving to be a turning point for customers as well as investors. This change shows how sensitive and fast-changing the precious metals market is.

Expert opinion and market analysis

Manish Sharma, Assistant Vice President, Commodity Department, Anand Rathi Shares and Stock Broker Company, has discussed in detail the reasons behind this decline. According to him, gold had reached a low of $ 2,630 per ounce during the Asian trading session. This decline is mainly due to the strengthening of the US dollar, which directly affects the prices of gold. Along with this, inflation concerns due to the increase in US Treasury bond rates and tariff policies related to Donald Trump’s presidential election campaign are also contributing to this decline.

Different picture seen in the silver market

While gold prices have fallen, the silver market is moving in the opposite direction. After continuous decline for the last five days, there has been a tremendous jump in the prices of silver. The price of silver has increased by Rs 200 per kg to Rs 92,700 per kg, while the previous day’s closing price was Rs 92,500 per kg. This shows the strength of the silver market and indicates that industrial demand and investors’ interest still remains in this white metal. This opposite movement in the prices of gold and silver shows the different market factors of both the metals.

Today’s latest rates and price structure

If we look at the status of gold prices in the Indian market on 21 June 2025, 24 carat gold is trading between Rs 93,200 to Rs 93,400 per 10 grams. It is considered the purest gold and is most suitable for investment. At the same time, 22 carat gold which is used to make jewellery is available in the range of Rs 89,459 to Rs 89,659 per 10 grams. The difference in the price of 24 carat and 22 carat gold is due to their purity. 22 carat gold has a mixture of other metals which makes it strong but the purity decreases.

Comparative study of gold prices in major cities

Gold prices vary in different metros of India which is due to local taxes, transportation costs and regional demand. In the national capital Delhi, 22 carat gold is available at a price of Rs 90,550 per 10 grams. In the financial capital Mumbai, the same gold is being sold at a price of Rs 94,560 per 10 grams, which is the most expensive. In Kolkata, the price of gold is Rs 94,550 per 10 grams, which is almost equal to Mumbai. In Chennai, South India, gold is available at the cheapest price of Rs 89,550 per 10 grams, while in Bengaluru the price is Rs 91,500 per 10 grams.

Effect and analysis of international factors

Many international factors are responsible for this fall in gold prices, which are affecting the global market. The stability in the interest rates of the US Federal Reserve and the increasing strength of the dollar have reduced the demand for gold. When interest rates are stable or rising, investors prefer interest-bearing assets rather than non-income-bearing assets like gold. A strong dollar makes gold expensive for holders of other currencies, which reduces global demand. All these factors together are putting pressure on international gold prices, which also affects the Indian market.

 

Contribution of domestic demand and local factors

Local factors also have a profound effect on gold prices in the Indian market. At this time the wedding and festive season is over, due to which the retail demand for gold has decreased. Indian families usually buy large amounts of gold during auspicious occasions, festivals and wedding ceremonies. With the end of these seasonal demands, the buying pressure in the market decreases. Additionally, the exchange rate between the Indian rupee and the US dollar also significantly affects local gold prices. When the rupee strengthens, imported gold becomes cheaper for Indian buyers.

Suggestions and future strategies for investors

Although gold prices have fallen recently, financial experts still consider it a safe and reliable option for long-term investment. This current price drop can be a good opportunity for investors who were waiting for a better buying opportunity after record highs. Experts suggest that gold should be seen as a means of portfolio diversification and not for short-term profits. Gold’s historical role as a hedge against inflation, currency devaluation and economic uncertainty remains. Long-term investors should focus on the fundamental characteristics of gold rather than being influenced by temporary price fluctuations.

Future Prospects and Precautions

Going forward, the direction of the gold market will depend on several important factors that investors will need to keep a close eye on. The US Federal Reserve’s policy decisions, dollar strength and global economic conditions will continue to influence international gold prices. Domestically, the upcoming festive season, the impact of monsoon and the government’s gold import policies will determine the Indian market. Investors are advised to regularly monitor market movements and consult qualified financial advisors before making significant investment decisions. Due to the volatile nature of the precious metals market, careful consideration of individual financial goals, risk tolerance and investment timeline is necessary.
