On February 13, 2026, gold and silver prices experienced a significant drop, with 22-carat gold declining to ₹1,33,920 per 10 grams from ₹1,42,575 the previous evening.
On February 13, 2026, there was a marked decrease in gold and silver prices, as reported by the India Bullion and Jewelers Association (IBJA). The price of 22-carat gold plummeted to ₹1,33,920 per 10 grams, down from ₹1,42,575 the previous day. This represents a loss of over ₹8,600, indicative of a volatile market impacting precious metal values drastically within a short period.
In addition to gold, the price of silver also saw a considerable reduction. The rate for silver (999 purity, per kilogram) fell by more than ₹17,000 on Friday, further reflecting the overall decline in precious metal costs. This fall raises concerns for investors and jewelers alike, who rely on these metals for both personal investment and commercial trading.
The price fluctuations may influence buying patterns among consumers and investors, especially in a culturally significant market like India, where gold and silver hold traditional value during festivals and weddings. As these prices drop, it could lead to increased purchasing activity, although the long-term trend will depend on various economic factors and market stability.
