gold price today
Gold-Silver Price Today: On the morning of 5 December 2025, there was movement in the gold and silver markets across the country. Gold prices declined in early trade due to movement of the dollar and low demand in the domestic market, while silver showed a slight rise. Its effects were clearly visible on MCX too, where gold fell down and silver rose rapidly.

22 and 24 carat gold rates across the country
A slight decline was also seen in the gold rates in major cities of the country. In cities like Delhi, Jaipur, Lucknow and Chandigarh, 22 carat gold reached Rs 1,18,990 and 24 carat gold reached Rs 1,29,800 per 10 grams. In Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad and Kolkata, 22 carat gold was around Rs 1,18,840 and 24 carat gold was around Rs 1,29,650. Whereas in Ahmedabad and Bhopal, the price of 22 carat was recorded at Rs 1,18,890 and the price of 24 carat was recorded at Rs 1,29,700 per 10 grams.
Gold prices in the country not only depend on domestic demand, but changes happening at the global level also directly affect them. This is the reason why there is a slight difference in rates in different cities.

Impact on gold due to US data
America’s employment data changed the direction of gold in the world market. Payrolls data came in weak in November, which was the worst level since 2023. This increased the expectation that the US Federal Reserve may cut interest rates. If such a decision is taken, then a big rise can be seen in both gold and silver, because when interest rates fall, the attractiveness of bonds reduces and investors turn to gold as a safe haven. The next meeting of the Fed is going to be held on 910 December, on which the eyes of the market are fixed.
Fluctuations in silver prices also
Like the domestic markets, there was movement in the price of silver at the international level too. In the domestic market, silver fell to around Rs 1,90,900 per kg in the morning. Whereas the spot price of silver in the foreign market was around $ 57.34 per ounce. Silver prices change faster than gold, as it is also used extensively in industries. Therefore, as soon as global signals are received, shocks are seen in prices.
