Gold prices witnessed a pullback on April 2, 2026, after a sharp rally in recent sessions, as easing geopolitical tensions and shifting expectations around US interest rate cuts reduced safe-haven demand. International spot gold declined nearly 2.8% to hover around $4,650 per ounce, reflecting profit-booking and a temporary cooling-off in bullish momentum.

In India, gold prices also edged lower across purity levels and weights, mirroring global trends. The price of 24-carat gold (99.9% purity) stood at ₹14,896 per gram, while 22-carat gold (91.6% purity) was priced at ₹13,654 per gram. Meanwhile, 18-carat gold (75% purity) was quoted at ₹11,172 per gram.

On a day-to-day basis, prices recorded marginal declines across categories. For 18-carat gold, the rate fell by ₹1 per gram from the previous day, with 10 grams priced at ₹1,11,720, down by ₹10. Larger quantities also reflected the same trend, with 100 grams priced at ₹11,17,200, a decline of ₹100.

Similarly, 22-carat gold saw a minor dip of ₹1 per gram, taking the price to ₹13,654. The cost of 10 grams stood at ₹1,36,540, while 100 grams were priced at ₹13,65,400—both down by ₹10 and ₹100 respectively compared to the previous session.
