Gold Rates Today February 12 2026: 24K 22K Prices in Delhi Mumbai Chennai from Previous Update
Gold and silver rates in India today reflect ongoing market caution amid global economic signals. On February 13, 2026, prices show minor fluctuations, with gold slightly down and silver edging up slightly.
Recent Market Volatility
Gold prices have swung sharply in early 2026, dropping from peaks around ₹15,944 per gram for 24K in early February to current levels due to stronger US dollar and reduced festive demand post-Diwali last year. Silver crashed over 15% this month from ₹3,50,000/kg on February 1 to ₹2,95,100/kg today, hit by profit-booking and industrial slowdown fears, though it gained 47% in January. From an Indian lens, rupee depreciation against the dollar amplifies these global trends, making imports costlier while RBI’s gold reserves stabilize sentiment.

Indian Investor Insights
In India, gold remains a cultural staple for weddings and Diwali, with 2026 seeing subdued demand post-2025 highs. Silver suits budget buyers for utensils and coins, while platinum appeals to urban millennials for its rarity. Track MCX for live trades; buy from BIS-hallmarked sellers. Volatility stems from US Fed signals, geopolitical tensions, and China’s demand—key for rupee-holders.
Factors Driving Prices
Rupee at ₹96.60/USD boosts import costs, while festivals like Ugadi could lift Q1 demand. Industrial silver/copper use in EVs favours long-term holds. Platinum benefits from auto catalyst needs amid India’s green push.
Buying Tips
Compare 3-4 jewellers; opt for digital gold apps for fractions. Sovereign Gold Bonds yield 2.5% interest, tax-free on maturity—ideal vs physical amid 3% GST. Monitor daily via Goodreturns or MCX apps.
