The Story in Brief
Gold prices rose on Thursday, August 6, 2026, with October futures on the Multi Commodity Exchange gaining 0.61% to Rs 1,49,399 per 10 grams in early trade, Times Now reports. International gold strengthened to $4,325 an ounce. Retail quotes varied by source: Times Now listed 24-carat gold at Rs 1,45,900 per 10 grams, while The Economic Times cited an IBJA indicative 999-purity rate of Rs 14,836 per gram.
The Economic Times reported 22-carat jewellery at Rs 13,770 per gram at Tanishq across Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Thiruvananthapuram. Malabar Gold & Diamonds, Kalyan Jewellers and Joyalukkas quoted Rs 13,725 per gram. Rates can change during the day and vary with taxes and other charges. Times Now listed city-level 22-carat rates between Rs 1,33,600 and Rs 1,33,750 per 10 grams.
The Indian Opinion
The easy story that gold is rising everywhere at one uniform rate misses the basic problem here: published prices differ by source, retailer, purity, tax treatment and whether jewellery charges apply. The opposite claim, that a higher quote automatically signals a buying opportunity, is just as lazy. Buyers should compare the final invoice, not a headline rate. The useful test is whether prices hold after the next international move and MCX settlement.
