Gold rates in India rose to a three-month high on August 21, 2026. In Hyderabad, 24-carat gold reached Rs 1,60,480 per 10 grams, and 22-carat gold reached Rs 1,47,100 per 10 grams, according to Siasat.com. In Delhi, 24-carat gold climbed to Rs 1,63,500 per 10 grams, including taxes, as reported by Times Now. The previous three-month high was on May 19, 2026, when Delhi gold traded at Rs 1,63,600.

On the Multi Commodity Exchange, gold futures for October delivery rose by Rs 1,432 (0.9%) to Rs 1,60,857 per 10 grams. International spot gold gained 2% to $4,600.91 per ounce. Analysts cited a weaker US dollar, lower bond yields, and investment demand for safe-haven assets as drivers. Times Now quoted experts noting gold's third consecutive weekly gain, while Siasat.com said Indian prices follow global trends as the country is a net importer.
Both sources reported the same core facts neutrally, with no partisan framing. Siasat.com focused on local Hyderabad prices and the import-driven nature of Indian gold pricing, while Times Now gave a broader city-wise table and quoted two named analysts. The coverage is uniform straight reporting: the price rise is attributed to global market factors such as a weaker dollar and lower bond yields, not to any government policy. Readers should watch MCX gold futures and global economic data for the next move.
