Indian Gold Rates Rise on September 12 Amid Market Pressure
Gold prices in India were reported at different levels on September 9 and September 12, 2026.
On September 9, 24-carat gold cost Rs 15,289 per gram.
On September 12, 24-carat gold was reported at Rs 15,458 per gram.
The September 12 article said 18-carat gold cost Rs 11,594 per gram.
That article gives two different prices for 22-carat gold, so its figure is unclear.
A market analyst said gold was trying to recover after a sharp fall.
She linked price changes to oil prices, inflation data and tensions involving Iran and the United States.
The earlier report also said international panic had eased briefly, but Middle East tensions continued to cause volatility.
Investors were watching US inflation data before the Federal Reserve meeting.
On September 9, 2026, the reported Indian prices were Rs 15,289 per gram for 24-carat, Rs 14,015 for 22-carat and Rs 11,467 for 18-carat gold.
On September 12, 2026, the reported 24-carat rate was Rs 15,458 per gram and the 18-carat rate was Rs 11,594.
The September 12 article contains a discrepancy for 22-carat gold, listing Rs 14,170 in its opening but Rs 14,015 in the body.
The September 12 report attributes market pressure to oil prices, US inflation data, geopolitical tensions and expectations surrounding the Federal Reserve meeting.
Vedika Narvekar of Anand Rathi said gold was near $4,330 an ounce after a 1.8% fall, while the earlier report cited a brief global decline amid easing panic and continuing Middle East tensions.
