Precious metal markets in Guwahati opened to upward revisions on October 26, with fine gold and silver registering slight price increments across local jewellers and bullion merchants. According to regional trading updates, the benchmark rate for 10 grams of 24-carat gold advanced to Rs 1,42,750, marking a modest upward shift of Rs 170 compared to the closing figures of October 25.
This latest upward tick fits into a broader pattern of localized price adjustments influenced by international bullion trends and domestic currency fluctuations. Historically, the festive and wedding seasons across Assam and the wider Northeast generate consistent retail demand, creating a resilient price floor for gold even amidst broader macroeconomic uncertainties.
According to reports by News Live TV (Assam), retail establishments across the city have noted steady footfall as buyers continue to procure precious metals for upcoming seasonal celebrations. Local market analysts emphasize that while the daily increments remain minor, the cumulative effect of steady demand maintains strong valuation support for high-purity gold in the region.
Looking ahead, bullion traders anticipate that regional price trajectories will remain closely tethered to global economic indicators, including currency exchange rates and upcoming monetary policy decisions. Consumers and investors alike are advised to monitor daily market updates closely as the festive trading period progresses through the final quarter of the year.
