Gold Prices Slide to ₹13,588/g on December 31: Latest 24K, 22K and 18K Rates Across India

Gold prices in India corrected further at the end of December, with the downtrend extending into December 31 after the sharp pullback seen a day earlier. After hovering near recent highs of ₹14,242 per gram for 24K gold on December 27, prices eased to ₹14,171 on December 29, slipped to ₹13,620 on December 30, and declined further to ₹13,588 per gram on December 31, marking a decisive late-month correction. 

The softer move reflects continued short-term profit booking following the December rally. While volatility picked up toward month-end, gold prices continue to trade at relatively elevated levels for the month as a whole, supported by steady global cues and resilient domestic demand, which have so far limited the risk of a deeper correction.

Gold prices in India softened further at the end of December, with 24K gold slipping to ₹13,588 per gram on December 31, extending the sharp correction seen a day earlier. Prices had already fallen to ₹13,620 on December 30, down from ₹14,171 on December 29 and ₹14,242 on December 27. Earlier in the week, gold had firmed up, rising from ₹14,002 on December 26, before reversing course decisively in the final two sessions of the month. 

The 22K and 18K segments mirrored the downtrend. 22K gold eased to ₹12,455 on December 31 from ₹12,485 on December 30, after declining from ₹12,990 on December 29 and ₹13,055 on December 27. Similarly, 18K gold edged down to ₹10,191 on December 31 from ₹10,193 on December 30, compared with ₹10,628 on December 29 and ₹10,682 on December 27. 

Despite the sharp late-month correction, gold prices remained elevated for most of December, supported by firm global cues and steady domestic demand. However, aggressive profit booking toward the close of the month led to heightened volatility and dragged prices lower in the final stretch. 

Gold Market Outlook

The national 24K gold benchmark fell to ₹13,588 per gram on December 31, extending the decline from ₹13,620 on December 30 and sharply lower from ₹14,171 on December 29 and ₹14,242 on December 27. This underscores a clear reversal after prices remained firm through most of late December. 

Other purities mirrored the trend. 22K gold slipped to ₹12,455 per gram, while 18K gold eased to ₹10,191, reflecting broad-based softness across the bullion market. Despite the near-term pressure, sentiment remains cautious rather than outright bearish, with market participants closely tracking global bullion prices, currency movements, and macroeconomic cues for direction. 

Conclusion

Gold prices in India weakened further on December 31, with 24K, 22K, and 18K gold at ₹13,588, ₹12,455, and ₹10,191 per gram, respectively. After consolidating at elevated levels earlier in the month, the late-December correction highlights sustained profit booking and shifting global cues. Nevertheless, steady underlying demand continues to support prices, keeping the broader outlook stable despite short-term softness.
