**New Delhi, India** – Gold prices have skyrocketed globally, driven by escalating trade tensions between the United States and China. Investors are flocking to gold and silver as safe haven assets, pushing prices to record highs.

Price variations exist across major Indian cities. While Delhi reported 10 grams of 22-carat gold at ₹79,020 and 24-carat at ₹86,390, Mumbai saw similar prices at ₹79,050 and ₹86,240 respectively. Hyderabad and Bengaluru mirrored Mumbai’s gold prices. Silver prices in Mumbai, Delhi, and Kolkata were ₹99,500 per kg, but Hyderabad and Chennai reported the higher price of ₹1,07,000 per kg. The fluctuating prices are a direct consequence of the ongoing international market instability caused by the trade war.
