Big Drop in Gold Rate Today! 24K Slides Over Rs 50,000 in 4 Days in Delhi on Chaitra Navratri, Hindu Nav Varsh

Gold rates in New Delhi continued to slide on Thursday, extending this week's ongoing decline. 24 Karat (24K) gold fell sharply to Rs 15,479 per gram, down Rs 278, while 22 Karat gold dropped to Rs 14,190 per gram, lower by Rs 255 on March 19, 2026 on Chaitra Navratri, Hindu New Year (Nav Varsh), Ugadi, Gudi Padwa and ahead of Eid 2026.

In just four trading sessions, 24K gold has declined by nearly Rs 50,200 per 100 grams, affecting overall sentiment during what is typically a peak season for gold purchases.

From a global perspective, market cues remain mixed. The U.S. Federal Reserve adopted a relatively hawkish stance in its latest policy update on Wednesday. While it kept interest rates unchanged, the central bank flagged concerns that rising energy prices-driven by the ongoing Iran conflict-could push inflation higher and make it more persistent. This cautious outlook has added pressure on gold, as expectations around inflation and monetary policy continue to influence investor sentiment.

"The resulting policy uncertainty creates a strong tailwind for gold and silver. As the market weighs the transition from Powell to Kevin Warsh amidst legal subpoenas and regional war, the U.S. dollar may face pressure from a perceived leadership vacuum. This instability enhances safe haven demand as investors seek protection from potential stagflation," said Justin Khoo, Senior Market Analyst - APAC, VT Markets.
