Gold fell for a third straight day on Friday 13 November. In Delhi, 24-karat gold of 99.9% purity costs Rs 1,38,640 per 10 grams, according to Goodreturns, checked live this morning. Silver fell too. The slide comes from hot inflation numbers in the US, a strong dollar, and rising bets that America’s central bank will raise rates in December.

Today’s rates, city by city
These are Goodreturns rates, checked live this morning. They are jeweller rates and exclude GST, making charges and other levies, so your local jeweller’s price will differ a little.
In Delhi, 24K is Rs 13,864 per gram (Rs 1,38,640 per 10 grams), 22K is Rs 12,710 (Rs 1,27,100) and 18K is Rs 10,402. Mumbai 24K is Rs 13,849 per gram (Rs 1,38,490) — the same as the India-wide figure — and Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru and Hyderabad all show Rs 13,849 per gram for 24K, with Chennai 18K a touch higher at Rs 10,390.
India-wide, 22K gold is Rs 12,695 per gram (Rs 1,26,950 per 10 grams) and 18K is Rs 10,387 per gram (Rs 1,03,870 per 10 grams). The day’s fall on 24K is Rs 131 per gram, or Rs 1,310 per 10 grams.

Three days of falls
Gold has now fallen three days running. On Goodreturns’ India-wide 24K rate, the slide looks like this: 11 November, Rs 1,41,980 per 10 grams; 12 November, Rs 1,39,800; 13 November, Rs 1,38,490. That is a fall of Rs 2,180 on Thursday and Rs 1,310 on Friday — Rs 3,490 in two days, or about 2.5% from the 11 November level.
The fall is not just an Indian story. Spot gold fell 0.88% to about $3,911 an ounce, Asianet reported, and silver fell more than 1% to about $51 an ounce. On COMEX, gold was up a small 0.2% to $3,893 an ounce early on Friday, while silver stayed flat at $50.07. The Indian market followed the global slide down.
Why gold is falling
Three things are pushing gold down at once. First, US inflation came in hotter than expected, so America’s central bank, the Federal Reserve, is more likely to raise rates — or at least not cut them. Second, the dollar is at its strongest since April 2025. Gold is priced in dollars, so a strong dollar makes it costlier for other buyers, and demand drops. Third, US bond yields are rising, which pulls money away from gold. Gold pays no interest, so it looks less attractive when bonds pay more.
Traders now expect a Fed rate hike in December, and more in March 2027, NDTV Profit reported. PL Capital, a brokerage, made the same point: hot inflation plus a strong dollar is a bad mix for gold. ABP Live put the day’s fall at Rs 2,200 — its own reading, bigger than Goodreturns’ Rs 1,310.

A warning: two sources, two prices
Read this before you act on any number above. Goodreturns, checked live this morning, shows India-wide 24K at Rs 1,38,490 per 10 grams and Delhi at Rs 1,38,640. But NDTV Profit, using Bullion data from about 6:40 this morning, shows India-wide 24K at Rs 1,36,820 and Delhi at Rs 1,36,340. That is a gap of about Rs 1,670 India-wide and Rs 2,300 in Delhi.
Goodreturns has updated since yesterday — its rate moved from Rs 13,994 a gram to Rs 13,849 today — so it is live, not stale. But it still sits above the Bullion reading. Jeweller rates and bullion rates come from different sellers, and they often disagree by a thousand rupees or more on a fast-moving day.
So treat the Goodreturns figures as the headline rate for this post, and the Bullion figures as the cross-check. If you plan to buy, ask two or three jewellers in your city first. Do not use either number as a quote for a trade.
Silver fell too
Silver is down with gold. Bullion data via NDTV Profit puts silver at Rs 1,79,560 per kg across India. Delhi silver is Rs 1,78,930 per kg and Mumbai Rs 1,79,240. MCX silver futures for December delivery closed at Rs 1,78,724 per kg, down more than 3% in the session. Sterling silver (925 purity) stands at Rs 1,66,093 per kg.
Silver usually moves with gold, and it fell harder this time — down over 3% on MCX against gold’s 2.5%. Silver is the more jumpy of the two metals.

FAQ
What is the gold rate in Delhi today, 13 November 2026?
Goodreturns, checked live this morning, shows Delhi 24K at Rs 1,38,640 per 10 grams and 22K at Rs 1,27,100. Bullion via NDTV Profit shows a lower Delhi 24K of Rs 1,36,340. Check with your jeweller before buying — the two live sources disagree by about Rs 2,300.
Why is gold falling for the third day?
Hot US inflation, a dollar at its strongest since April 2025, rising bond yields, and growing bets that the US Federal Reserve will raise rates in December. When rates look set to rise, gold loses shine because it pays no interest.
What is the silver rate today?
Silver is Rs 1,79,560 per kg across India, as per Bullion data via NDTV Profit. Delhi silver is Rs 1,78,930 per kg. MCX December silver futures closed at Rs 1,78,724 per kg, down over 3%.
Desk-original added context
Our own three-day fall table, from Goodreturns’ live India-wide 24K rate per 10 grams: 11 November — Rs 1,41,980; 12 November — Rs 1,39,800, down Rs 2,180; 13 November — Rs 1,38,490, down Rs 1,310. Total fall: Rs 3,490, about 2.5%. Our own maths on the source gap: Goodreturns’ India figure sits Rs 1,670 above Bullion’s Rs 1,36,820, and its Delhi figure sits Rs 2,300 above Bullion’s Rs 1,36,340. That gap is bigger than the day’s fall itself, which is why this post leads with Goodreturns but prints Bullion beside it. And our own read for buyers: a Rs 1,310 fall sounds big, but gold is only about 2.5% below 11 November — a three-day slide, not a crash.
