New Delhi, 27 April (H.S.):

Gold and silver prices in India slipped slightly in early trade on Monday, with bullion markets showing a mild weakening trend across major cities. In most domestic jewellery hubs, 24‑karat gold is trading between ₹1,54,030 and ₹1,54,900 per 10 grams, while 22‑karat gold is moving in the range of ₹1,41,190 to ₹1,41,990 per 10 grams. Spot deals in silver have also cooled, with Delhi’s bullion market quoting the white metal around ₹2,59,900 per kilogram.

Rates in southern and eastern state capitals

Across the southern and eastern states, a similar pattern of mild weakness is visible. In Bengaluru (Karnataka), Hyderabad (Telangana), and Bhubaneswar (Odisha), 24‑karat gold is trading broadly near ₹1,54,030 per 10 grams, while 22‑karat gold is quoted around ₹1,41,190 per 10 grams. These levels indicate only a marginal pull‑back from the recent highs, keeping sentiment cautious rather than sharply bearish.

Traders in the domestic bullion market say that the slight dip in both gold and silver prices on April 27 reflects renewed profit‑booking after a recent rally, with global cues and local demand together keeping the fall in check. For jewellery buyers, the drop is too small to trigger a major surge in footfall, while investors continue to view the yellow metal as a relatively stable hedge amid wider uncertainty in global markets.
