Gold prices across India remained unchanged on April 14, 2025, as markets stayed closed for a central government holiday on the occasion of Ambedkar Jayanti. With bullion dealers and jewellers observing the public holiday, there were no fresh updates to gold rates today. Investors and buyers will now have to wait until Tuesday for revised rates.
That said, gold prices on Friday, April 11, had continued to hover near record levels across major cities. Here's a look at how 22K and 24K gold were priced per 10 grams going into the long weekend.

Factors influencing the price surge
- Tensions in the Middle East, along with uncertainty in global equities, have pushed investors towards safer assets like gold.
- A slightly weaker US dollar and expectation of rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve have also contributed to sustained interest in gold.
- The ongoing wedding season and festive demand during Baisakhi and upcoming Akshaya Tritiya supported prices last week.
