Gold and silver prices went down a little in India's retail market on October 6.
The article lists prices for gold in two purities and for very pure silver in several cities.
Gold prices in international markets changed very little.

The article also links market uncertainty to tensions involving the United States and Iran.
MCX gold and silver futures were both lower during the reported trading.
Chennai had the highest listed 24-karat gold price among the cities shown.
Indian retail prices for 24-karat and 22-karat gold declined marginally on October 6.
Silver prices also fell in the domestic bullion market.
MCX gold was down 0.05% at ₹1,49,370 per 10 grams; silver futures fell about 0.33% to ₹2,25,700 per kg.
Spot gold slipped 0.2% to $4,133.59 per ounce, while December US gold futures fell 0.02% to $4,161.5.
