Gold Rates Today 14 January 2026
Gold Breaks Global Records
In international markets, spot gold jumped above $4,600 per ounce, marking one of the highest levels ever recorded. Market analysts attribute the rally to cooling US inflation data, which has increased expectations of further rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, weakening the dollar and boosting gold’s appeal.
Silver Outperforms Gold
Silver has emerged as the star performer, outperforming gold with a sharp surge above $89 per ounce in global trade. The metal has already delivered nearly 150% returns over the past year. Supply shortages in London markets and a short squeeze witnessed in October have kept silver prices elevated, supported further by rising industrial demand.
MCX Prices at Record Highs
India’s commodity market witnessed extreme volatility as prices touched historic peaks on Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX):
- Gold: ₹1,42,949 per 10 grams (all-time high)
- Silver: ₹2,79,528 per kg (record high)
Global cues, rupee movement, and strong domestic demand have contributed to the sharp rise in futures prices.
