Gold Rate Today: 24K, 22K, 18K Prices Decline August 14
Gold is a shiny yellow metal that people buy to make jewelry and to save money.
Its price changes every single day, just like the price of fruit at the market.
On Friday, August 14, the price of gold in India went down a little bit.
One gram of very pure gold, called 24-carat gold, now costs about 15,289 rupees.
Gold that is 22-carat or 18-carat is less pure, so it costs a little less.
The price of gold also went down on the big exchange where people trade it.
But in other parts of the world, gold got slightly more expensive.
Prices are moving up and down because there is trouble in the Middle East.
When people are worried about world events, gold prices often change a lot.
Gold prices in India remained under pressure on Friday, August 14, with domestic rates showing a mixed trend across markets.
Per Good Returns, 24-carat gold fell ₹71 to ₹15,289 per gram, 22-carat fell ₹65 to ₹14,015 per gram, and 18-carat fell ₹53 to ₹11,467 per gram.
On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), 24-carat gold futures declined 0.71% in early trade, dropping ₹1,090 to ₹1,52,376 per 10 grams.
