Gold Price Today, 13 April 2026: Gold prices are experiencing heightened volatility following the collapse of the high-stakes US-Iran peace talks in Islamabad over the weekend. While the failure of diplomacy has reignited safe-haven demand, gold is currently facing pressure from a surging US Dollar, which investors are favouring as the primary refuge. International spot gold has retreated in early Monday trade as the market unwinds the optimism that had built up during the ceasefire. Domestic rates have seen a slight morning correction following the global trend, though they remain significantly higher than levels seen earlier in April.

Impact of the Failed Peace Talks
Dollar Dominance
- The collapse of negotiations led to a sharp “unwinding of optimism,” with investors piling into the US Dollar and Oil (Brent crude jumped ~7.5% to $102), which typically makes gold more expensive for holders of other currencies
Nuclear & Strait Concerns
- Talks reportedly failed due to disagreements over Iran’s nuclear commitments. US Vice President JD Vance confirmed that negotiations ended without a deal, leading to immediate fears of a renewed blockade of the Strait of Hormuz
Inflation Fears
- Analysts at City Index and JM Financial warn that the jump in oil prices could trigger a resurgence in inflation, potentially forcing central banks to keep interest rates higher for longer, a traditional headwind for gold
Market Summary
- Monthly View: Gold has retreated approximately 14% from its early March peak of over ₹1.73 lakh per 10g
- Price Action: Gold fell nearly 2% in early trade as the dollar jumped following the collapse of peace talks
- Key Drivers: Dollar dominance, renewed Strait of Hormuz concerns, and inflation fears are currently influencing prices
- Support Factors: Central bank buying and ongoing geopolitical uncertainties continue to provide support
Can Gold Prices Rise Again?
- Technical Levels: Support at $4,700 per ounce; resistance at $4,800
- Peace Talks Outcome: The collapse of negotiations could renew safe-haven demand, though dollar strength is currently dominating
- Fed Rate Expectations: Rising oil prices could trigger inflation, potentially forcing central banks to keep rates higher
- Central Bank Buying: Continued accumulation by global central banks provides long-term support
Key Considerations for Buyers
- GST: 3% applicable on gold value
- Making Charges: Typically range from 5% to 35% for jewellery
- Investment Options: Gold ETFs or Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGB) help avoid high making charges of physical jewellery
