Gold Rate Today: Gold prices in India in mid-March 2026 have been fluctuating lately amid the raging conflict in West Asia that began on February 28 with US-Israeli attacks on Iran.
Normally, gold rises during wars because investors move money to “safe-haven” assets. However, the dollar has remained strong this time, making gold expensive for countries and reducing demand.
As festive shopping for occasions such as Eid, Ugadi, Gudi Padwa, and Navratri is around the corner, the prices for yellow metal in India showed a slight rebound on Tuesday; however, they declined today, Wednesday, March 18.
READ: For the first time, Indians invest more in gold ETFs than equity MFs.
