Gold Price Today, 9 April 2026: Gold prices have rebounded sharply in both international and domestic markets following the announcement of a two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran. Despite an initial pullback when the ceasefire was first rumored, spot gold surged as global markets recalibrated. A weakening US dollar and a 15% crash in crude oil prices have fueled this surge, as lower energy costs may ease inflation and lead to a more dovish stance from central banks. Indian markets saw a significant jump of nearly ₹3,980 per 10 grams for 24K gold today.

Market Summary
Ceasefire Impact
- While equities and crypto also rallied, gold’s safe-haven appeal remains high due to the conditional nature of the truce and ongoing regional uncertainty
- The two-week ceasefire is temporary; any breakdown could renew safe-haven demand
Key Drivers of the Rally
- Weaker US Dollar: A softening dollar makes gold cheaper for international buyers
- Crude Oil Crash: A 15% drop in oil prices may ease inflation, potentially leading to more dovish central bank policies
- Conditional Truce: The ceasefire’s conditional nature keeps geopolitical risks alive
Can Gold Prices Rise Further?
- Technical Levels: Support at $4,750 per ounce; resistance at $4,900
- Ceasefire Duration: The two-week window is temporary; any breakdown could trigger another safe-haven rally
- Fed Rate Expectations: Easing inflation from lower oil prices could lead to rate cuts, a positive for gold
- 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
