Gold Price Today 24 May 2026: Gold prices in India remained largely stable on May 24, 2026, even as international bullion markets witnessed mild selling pressure while investors continue treating gold as a defensive asset amid inflation concerns, rising crude oil prices and uncertainty in global financial markets. Domestic demand remains resilient ahead of the upcoming festive and wedding season, while MCX futures traded slightly lower during early market hours.

Analysts say the precious metal is currently moving within a narrow consolidation zone after touching record highs earlier this month and despite temporary corrections, long-term sentiment toward gold remains broadly positive.
