Good morning — here's where gold and silver stand on the morning of 12 August 2026, and what's steering them.
In short (12 August 2026): 24K gold is around ₹1,54,400/10g and 22K around ₹1,41,500/10g; silver is about ₹2,37,700/kg. Prices are firm and near two-month highs on steady central-bank and investment buying, but the market is holding its breath for today's US inflation reading — so the near-term read is firm-but-sideways rather than a clear one-way move. These are indicative India reference levels — AT Jewels' live counter rate is the billing price.

What is moving the market this week
Two forces are pulling in opposite directions. On one side, gold has quietly climbed to its highest in about two months, helped by steady central-bank buying — China's central bank added roughly 20 tonnes in July, its biggest monthly purchase since late 2023 — along with investment demand and a lingering risk premium from West Asia. On the domestic side MCX gold rose about ₹1,182 this morning and silver added around ₹2,314, recovering after Tuesday's dip, while the rupee stayed steady near 95.4 to the dollar.
On the other side sits caution. The United States releases its July inflation report later today, and traders are waiting for it before committing either way. A hotter-than-expected number could revive worries about interest rates and cool the metals; a softer one could extend the rally. Until that print lands, prices are firm but capped — which is exactly why today's read is steady rather than decisively higher.
The near-term view
For families buying for a wedding or festival, the honest read is firm-to-sideways. The underlying trend is up and prices are near recent highs, but a big data event today means the next couple of sessions could wobble in either direction by a percent or two. That's not a reason to rush or to wait — it's a reason to buy by your actual need and date, and to split a larger purchase into parts rather than trying to time a single perfect day. Silver in particular has been swinging sharply day to day, so treat any big single-day move with patience. This is general guidance for buyers, not trading advice.
Frequently asked
What is the gold rate today in India?
Today 24K gold is around ₹1,54,400 per 10g and 22K around ₹1,41,500 per 10g (indicative). Your final price depends on making charges, GST and AT Jewels' live counter rate at the time of billing.
What is the silver rate today?
Silver is about ₹2,37,700 per kg (indicative) today, recovering after a dip on Tuesday.
Will gold prices go up or down this week?
The trend is firm and prices are near two-month highs, but today's US inflation report is the swing factor — a hotter number could cool prices while a softer one could push them higher. Nobody can promise the direction, so buy by your need rather than trying to call the exact turn.
