The surge is driven by rising concerns over global trade tensions, which have increased demand for safe-haven assets, GoodReturns reported.
On Thursday, January 22, 2026, gold rates fell in both domestic and foreign markets due to decreasing tensions surrounding Greenland, reversing the recent bullish trend.
24-karat gold, known for its purity and higher value, is predominantly purchased for investment purposes, while 22-karat and 18-karat gold are primarily used in jewellery making.
