Gold and silver prices witnessed a strong rise in India on September 18, 2026, giving buyers another reason to keep a close watch on the bullion market.
According to the latest bullion-market data cited in reports, silver increased by ₹6,474 per kilogram to around ₹2.36 lakh, while 24-carat gold rose by ₹1,809 per 10 grams to around ₹1.54 lakh.
Silver Sees a Strong Jump
Silver recorded a notable increase during the latest trading session. Depending on the market and source, 999-fine silver was being quoted around ₹2.36–₹2.39 lakh per kilogram on September 18.
The movement in silver prices has been influenced by broader international commodity trends, currency movements and changing investor demand.
Gold Prices Also Move Higher
Gold prices also moved upward. The 24-carat rate was reported at around ₹1.53–₹1.54 lakh per 10 grams, while 22-carat gold was around ₹1.40 lakh per 10 grams in several market updates.
International factors, including movements in the US dollar, crude oil prices, interest-rate expectations and geopolitical developments, can influence precious-metal prices.
Prices May Differ for Buyers
The headline bullion rate is not necessarily the final price a jewellery buyer pays. Local taxes, GST, dealer margins, purity and jewellery-making charges can affect the final bill. Buyers should therefore check the latest local rate and purity before making a purchase.
With both gold and silver remaining volatile, consumers are likely to continue monitoring daily price movements closely.
