Gold Prices Surge on 8 March 2026
Gold prices in India have sharply increased on 8 March 2026, driven by rising demand for safe havens amid escalating geopolitical tensions. Domestic gold prices surged by more than ₹2,500 per 10 grams in a single session, reflecting a growing trend among investors seeking stability in uncertain times.
The international spot gold price reached $5,174.23 per ounce, marking a daily change of +1.69% (+$85.74). In Delhi, the price for 24K gold now stands at ₹16,380 per gram, while 22K gold is priced at ₹15,015 per gram, and 18K gold at ₹12,288 per gram.
In major cities across India, gold prices have increased by ₹250-₹252 per gram, indicating a nationwide trend in the precious metal’s valuation. This surge comes as gold has reversed recent losses, highlighting its status as a safe-haven asset during times of market volatility.
Historical data shows that gold often performs well during periods of geopolitical instability, and this recent spike is consistent with that trend. Investors are increasingly turning to gold as a protective measure against potential economic downturns and uncertainties.
As the situation evolves, market observers are closely monitoring the geopolitical landscape and its potential impact on gold prices. While the current demand appears robust, details remain unconfirmed regarding the sustainability of this upward trend.
