Gold continues its upward trend in India, while UAE prices remain unchanged and silver shows slight movement.
Gold prices in India recorded a modest increase on Thursday, April 16, 2026, reflecting a steady upward trend in the domestic market. The price of 24K gold rose to ₹15,334 per gram, marking a gain of ₹14. Similarly, 22K gold climbed to ₹14,056.17 per gram, while 18K gold reached ₹11,500.5 per gram, both registering small but noticeable increases.
In contrast, gold prices in the United Arab Emirates remained unchanged. The rate for 24K gold held steady at AED 570 per gram, while 22K and 18K gold were priced at AED 522.5 and AED 427.5 per gram respectively. The stability in UAE rates suggests a pause in market movement despite fluctuations seen elsewhere.
Silver prices showed mixed trends across the two regions. In India, the price of fine 999 silver remained stable at ₹269 per gram with no change recorded. However, in the UAE, silver prices edged up slightly, increasing by AED 0.1 to reach AED 9.5 per gram.
The current exchange rate stands at 1 AED equal to ₹24.43, which continues to influence price comparisons between the two markets.
Market observers suggest that buyers and investors should remain attentive to daily fluctuations, as even small changes can impact purchasing decisions in the precious metals market.
