Gold prices witnessed a sharp decline today (Thursday), offering temporary relief to buyers after the recent record-breaking surge. The price of gold fell by ₹4,640 per sovereign, while silver prices dropped by ₹20,000 per kilogram.

Over the past few weeks, gold prices have been rising at an unprecedented pace, with one sovereign crossing the ₹1 lakh mark. Daily price fluctuations running into thousands of rupees have been reported in the bullion market. Notably, on January 29, gold prices surged by a massive ₹9,520 per sovereign in a single day. After a brief dip, prices had increased again over the last two days before today’s correction.
