Gold Rate Today (13 August 2026): The prices of gold and silver became volatile on Thursday, August 13, 2026, amid some booking of profits following the gains seen in precious metal prices in the past couple of days. Gold for October delivery on India’s domestic futures market fell below the level of ₹1.54 lakh, while September delivery of silver witnessed a steep fall.

Gold on the MCX lost ₹1,289 or 0.83% to ₹1,53,593 per 10 grams and touched an intra-day low of ₹1,53,535 while MCX Silver settled at ₹2,35,217 per kg lower by ₹2,618 or 1.10% and touched ₹2,35,000. The fall came despite a largely favourable environment for bullion while lower US inflation lowered the chances of an interest rate hike by the Fed, leading to a rise in gold prices to a two-month high.

The supplied historical data is quoted per gram, so the table below retains that unit to avoid introducing a false 1-kg denomination.

The 24K rate has still risen by ₹960 per gram, or about 6.67%, from August 4 to August 13 despite the latest fall. That is an important point: today’s correction has not erased the broader August advance.

Gold & Silver Price Today: Why Gold and Silver Are Falling?

The near-term catalyst for the price move was booking profits while gold had been rising in value following a lower-than-expected reading on US inflation, which prompted speculators to lower their expectation of any Fed interest rate hike in the near future. This drove gold prices to a new short-term peak prior to a sell-off. Meanwhile, the US dollar recovered along with bond yields moving up. Both factors could negatively impact non-interest-bearing investments like gold as they make bullion relatively costly.

Silver has seen the same pressures in the macroeconomic environment, but because of the nature of its industry applications, the metal is especially vulnerable to expectations regarding growth globally. The current correction is clearly an adjustment following an aggressive move rather than any sign that the whole precious metals tale has been rewritten. It is all about the Federal Reserve’s policy and markets had supposedly been pricing in around a 40% chance of a 25-basis-point interest rate hike in September, falling from close to 50% only a day before.

Key Considerations for Buyers

• Do not assume that the MCX futures price will be the ultimate jewellery price.
• Purity, hallmark, and HUID should be verified before purchasing physical gold.
• Invoice should be compared in totality, taking into consideration making charges and GST.
• The cheaper bullion price will not necessarily imply cheaper jewellery.
• Try staggered purchasing rather than putting all the money at once.
• Investors should not mix short-term trading and wealth preservation.
• Silver can be more volatile than gold.
• Movements in currency will impact Indian bullion prices to a large extent.

Should You Buy Gold Today Or Hold Back in India?

• For jewellery buyers: A small correction can offer some relief, but waiting for a perfect bottom is difficult.
• For long-term investors: Staggered purchases may be more sensible than trying to time a single day.
• For short-term traders: The ₹1,52,500 support and ₹1,54,800 resistance levels are worth watching.
• For cautious buyers: Holding back part of the planned allocation gives room if prices correct further.
• For existing investors: Today’s fall alone does not establish a reversal, particularly because the 24K domestic rate remains well above its August 4 level.
• For silver investors: The ₹2.30 lakh MCX support level is an important near-term reference.
