Gold, silver rates today (19 March 2026): Latest city-wise prices and global trends

Gold and silver prices saw a sharp drop on Thursday, offering relief to buyers on Gudi Padwa, a day traditionally associated with fresh purchases of precious metals.

The fall comes amid profit booking by traders and weak physical demand. The correction in bullion prices has come as a breather after recent highs, just as festive buying picks up across the country.
