Gold Price Trend in April 2026

The gold price trend in india over the past month has remained largely upward. Prices have risen from around Rs. 14,300-14,500 per gram in early April to nearly Rs. 14,951 levels for 24k gold, despite intermittent corrections.

After the Akshaya Tritiya gold buying rush, the market is currently witnessing consolidation, with buyers and investors waiting for clearer global cues.

Prithviraj Kothari, Managing Director at RiddiSiddhi Bullions Ltd. and President of IBJA, said gold and silver markets are currently influenced by multiple global factors.

He said, "Gold and silver stand at the intersection of conflict and capital. As the U.S.-Iran ceasefire fractures and energy supply shocks fuel inflation fears, precious metals face both headwinds and tailwinds simultaneously. Central banks are quietly accumulating, ETF investors are deliberately reallocating, and silver's structural deficit deepens yet rate hike expectations and a firming dollar apply persistent pressure. Markets are not driven by a single force today, but by a complex web of geopolitics, monetary policy, and industrial demand. In such an environment, gold and silver are not merely commodities; they are mirrors of global uncertainty."

According to him," the overall outlook remains bullish, and investors may consider a 'buy on dips' strategy in the current environment."
