Gold Rate in India Climbs Amid US-Iran Crisis; MCX Gold Prices Up; What’s Next for Bullion Today on 13 April ?

Gold rates in India remained on a firm footing in the latest trading session, extending gains after a week marked by sharp fluctuations. Despite intermittent corrections, the overall trend has stayed positive, supported by steady retail demand and resilient global cues.

The upward movement comes amid heightened global uncertainty following the breakdown of US-Iran talks in Islamabad, which has escalated tensions in the region. US President Donald Trump has announced that the US Navy will begin blockading the Strait of Hormuz and intercept vessels linked to Iran, a move that could disrupt global oil flows and boost safe-haven demand for gold.
