This is the kind of detail that matters when you’re making a real-world purchase, or nothing. Gold and silver prices are a straight-up reflection of global chaos and local traditions. It’s never simple.
Here are the notes, raw and direct, on the gold and silver rates for December 6, 2025. It’s an interesting day—the price of gold barely moved, showing just a tiny Rs 1 per gram increase from yesterday, but the underlying volatility is still there.
The base rate for 1-gram gold at the national level has barely ticked up, holding strong near its recent highs.
24 Karat (999 Purity):Rs 12,994 (Up Rs 1 from yesterday)
22 Karat (Jewelry Purity):Rs 11,911
18 Karat:Rs 9,746
City-Wise Gold Rates (1 Gram)
The real story is the variation across the country. That difference? It’s all due to State-level taxes (VAT/GST) and local bullion association fees. X happened. And then the local rate followed.
Silver has been on an absolute tear lately. The price is high, driven by strong industrial demand (it’s used everywhere in electronics, solar panels, etc.) and expectations of US interest rate cuts. People are flocking to it as a safe-haven asset, let’s be real.
Silver Price (Per Gram):Rs 186.90
Silver Price (Per Kilogram):Rs 1,86,900
What Drives the Madness?
The local demand is huge, especially with the festive and wedding season still active. But the thing is, the price is really set by global forces:
US Dollar Strength: The rupee is weak right now (around 89.77 to the USD). We import most of our gold. When the rupee drops, buying the same ounce of gold costs more rupees, and that cost gets passed straight to the consumer.
Geopolitical Jitters: Global instability (like the Russia-Ukraine conflict or the persistent Middle East unrest) makes investors nervous. They pull their money out of stocks and move it into safe-haven assets like gold, driving the price up.
US Fed Rate Hopes: The market is banking hard on the US Federal Reserve cutting rates soon. When rates fall, holding non-yielding assets like gold becomes more attractive than holding cash or fixed deposits. That anticipation keeps the bullish pressure high.
