On August 19, 2026, the gold rate in India showed a slight decline from the previous day. For 24 carat gold, the price dropped to Rs 15,497 per gram, down from Rs 15,589 per gram on August 18.

These fluctuations in gold prices were largely driven by international market dynamics and geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Middle East.

The trade in domestic gold was also influenced by local prices influenced by import duties and foreign exchange rates.
