Gold, silver price today, March 21 Highlights: Gold prices remain volatile as the ongoing US-Iran war continues to create uncertainty in global markets. Investors across the world are closely watching the movement of precious metals, which are traditionally considered safe investments during times of geopolitical tension and economic instability.

Gold has long been regarded as a reliable store of value. During periods of inflation, financial instability, or war, investors often shift their money to gold and other precious metals to protect their wealth. The current tensions in West Asia have once again pushed bullion into focus.

Gold rates in India today

According to the latest update, the price of gold in India today stands at Rs 14,890 per gram for 24 karat gold, Rs 13,654 per gram for 22 karat gold, and Rs 11,172 per gram for 18 karat gold.

The change in gold prices compared to the previous day has been minimal. On the previous day, 24 karat gold was priced at Rs 14,891 per gram. Although the change appears small, the market has been witnessing continuous fluctuations over the past few days due to global developments.

West Asia tensions

The escalating conflict has pushed crude oil prices higher, which has further influenced global commodity markets. As uncertainty rises, many investors are turning to gold and silver as safe-haven assets. Analysts say precious metals often perform well during geopolitical conflicts because investors use them to hedge against inflation, currency fluctuations, and global financial instability.
