Bhubaneswar, January 30,2026: Gold and silver prices witnessed a sharp decline today after an unexpected surge yesterday. The market corrected itself, bringing relief to buyers who had faced soaring rates. The price of 24-carat gold fell by Rs 8,230, settling at Rs 1,70,620 per 10 grams. Similarly, 22-carat gold dropped by Rs 7,550, now priced at Rs 1,56,400 per 10 grams. This fall comes after yesterday’s dramatic rise of Rs 11,000 in gold rates, which had surprised traders and customers alike. Silver prices also recorded a significant dip. Rates fell by Rs 10,000 per kilogram, bringing the current price to Rs 4,15,000 per kg. The decline in both gold and silver indicates a cooling of the market after the sudden spike.
