Gold, silver prices on November 12: Check latest rates in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, other cities

Prices of precious metals were down on November 12 across 24-carat, 22-carat, and 18-carat purities amid a healthy festive demand with shoppers stepping up with their Diwali buys. Benchmark gold rates stand at ₹1,39,300 per 10 gm while silver continued its slip from the ₹2-lakh mark trading at ₹1,82,820 per kg. Silver’s uninterrupted 2025 bull run has hit a wall, with the metal surrendering more than half of its gains as surging crude oil prices and persistent inflation fears fuel expectations of further US interest rate hikes.

On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), gold futures were down by 0.67% at ₹1,38,752 per 10 gm, whereas silver dropped by 1.31% at around ₹1,82,103 per kg at the time of writing this story.

Higher interest rates remain a headwind for non-yielding gold, with markets also watching global economic risks and rising geopolitical tensions in the West Asia region.

In the physical retail market, gold is primarily bought in 24-karat and 22-karat options. While 24-karat represents pure gold, 22-karat remains the preferred choice for crafting ornaments because the mixed alloys deliver greater durability.

Prices in India remain anchored by international spot bullion trends, USD/INR currency dynamics, and anticipatory retail demand ahead of peak festival shopping.

The rates quoted in benchmark tables and store listings reflect base bullion prices. Retail gold purchases in India attract a standard 3% GST on the value of the metal, plus a separate 5% GST on the jewellery making charges. Import duties and local transport surcharges also influence regional price variations across states.
