Gold prices in India on January 27, 2026, are hovering close to record highs, with 24K gold trading around the ₹1.58–₹1.62 lakh per 10 grams mark in many markets, extending the bullish trend seen through January.

Why Gold Prices Increased in Recent Days
Gold prices have primarily increased due to a combination of international and domestic factors:
Gold prices in India have largely moved higher in recent days, with only brief intraday declines, as global risk sentiment remains cautious and investors continue to favour gold as a safe-haven asset amid geopolitical tensions and growth worries.
Central banks in many advanced and emerging economies have persisted with substantial gold purchases to diversify reserves, reinforcing a structural uptrend and limiting the depth of any corrections. Expectations that key central banks may eventually cut interest rates, even if timing remains uncertain, have helped cap real yields and supported the broader rally in bullion.
On the currency front, intermittent rupee weakness against the US dollar has magnified imported gold costs in India, pushing local prices higher than global moves alone would imply, while resilient urban jewellery and investment demand has kept the domestic market well bid despite lofty levels.
Short-lived declines during the past week were mainly tied to phases of dollar strength, firmer global equity markets, and some profit-booking after sharp upswings, prompting temporary cooling in retail buying at record price zones. Even so, persistent inflation concerns, portfolio diversification needs, and uncertainty around global growth have kept overall sentiment constructive, anchoring 24K prices near historic highs around the ₹1.58–₹1.60 lakh per 10 grams band.
