- Gold climbs ₹400 to ₹1 . 5 lakh per 10 gm as festive buying elevates demand
Gold in Delhi rose ₹400 to ₹1,50,300 per 10 grams on Monday from ₹1,49,900 on Friday, as improving festive demand and firmer global trends supported prices ahead of Dussehra. Silver held steady at ₹2.15 lakh per kg. HDFC Securities' Saumil Gandhi said physical demand has improved, with gold trading at a premium last week for the first time in over three months, and retail buying is expected to strengthen before Diwali. Globally, spot gold traded at $4,175.57 per ounce and silver rose over 1% to $57.63, as easing crude oil prices and lower US Treasury yields eased inflation concerns.
- Gold , silver prices may see limited upside ahead of Diwali ; expert sees gold at Rs 1 . 5 lakh , silver at Rs 2 . 3 lakh
Gold and silver prices may see limited upside ahead of Diwali 2026, according to commodity expert Anuj Gupta in a Business Today report published October 17. He projects gold could move toward Rs 1.5 lakh per 10 grams and silver toward Rs 2.2–2.3 lakh per kg, supported by festive buying. Rising interest rates, inflation and growing investor interest in bonds could, however, limit gains, while silver also faces pressure from weak industrial demand, including concerns about China's solar industry. Gold has gained around 9% this year, while silver has declined nearly 9%. The article stresses that expert price targets are estimates, not guaranteed outcomes.
- Gold price prediction today : Will gold prices be range - bound ? Check outlook for October 19 , 2026 week
Motilal Oswal analyst Manav Modi says gold is seeing a range-bound bias, having fallen sharply from a September high of around Rs 163,000–165,000 and now consolidating near Rs 148,000. Immediate support is at Rs 147,500, then Rs 146,000–145,500, while resistance sits at Rs 148,800–149,000 and then Rs 150,000–150,500. Gold trades near $4,175 with a resilient tone, supported by ETF inflows of around 187 tonnes in August and September, Chinese demand, and central-bank buying estimated at 250–300 tonnes in Q3, though elevated real yields remain the main near-term headwind. Investors are watching the upcoming Fed meeting and PCE inflation data, as cautious comments from Fed Chair Kevin Warsh have cut expectations for an October hike below 20%.
- Salazar Resources to Begin Drilling the Yumi Gold-Silver Veins at Tarqui, with Porphyry Drilling Planned at Monja, Ecuador
Salazar Resources closed a $3,500,000 non-brokered private placement announced on October 8, 2026, and outlined its exploration plan. Phase 1 is about 1,500 metres of drilling in five holes at the Yumi gold-silver veins on its 100%-owned Tarqui project, with drilling expected to begin in late October 2026, and the veins have not previously been drilled. Selective rock-chip samples returned 105 g/t Au and 1,038 g/t Ag, and historical BHP holes intersected porphyry-style mineralization nearby, which the company interprets as lying on the periphery of a porphyry center not yet located. Phase 2 contemplates up to about 3,500 metres of drilling in four holes at the 100%-owned Monja copper-gold porphyry target from the first quarter of 2027, subject to surface access and permits. A soil survey of about 895 samples is also planned at Quimi, part of the Tarqui-Quimi project.
- What's Up with Stocks, Cryptos, Gold & Silver? October 19th, 2026 | 1290 WJNO
This weekly market recap shows that so far in 2026 the Dow is up 7%, the S&P 500 up 12% and the Nasdaq up 13%, though many AI-linked companies have fallen into bear market territory, down 20% or more. Inflation is the key driver, with CPI at 3.7% and PPI at 6.2%, the highest wholesale rate since December 2022, leading investors to price in at least an 89% chance of another Fed rate hike this year. WTI crude closed above $101 per barrel as attacks on energy infrastructure continued in Russia, Ukraine and the Middle East. Through Friday, 9% of companies had reported third-quarter earnings, averaging 29% growth. Year to date, Bitcoin is down 8%, Ether 19%, gold 3% and silver 19%, while the S&P 500's P/E stands at 26.12 versus a historical average of 16.24.
- Four Nines Gold Intersects 80.1 Meters Averaging 1.08 g/t Gold in Expanding Lower Telegraph Corridor at Hayden Hill
Four Nines Gold reports HH26-003 assays of 80.1 meters averaging 1.08 g/t Au and 10 g/t Ag, starting 10 meters below the current pit and hosted in silicified, multi-stage hydrothermal breccia. A deeper 8.0-meter interval averaging 1.10 g/t Au and 15 g/t Ag (157-165 meters) is interpreted as a down-dip extension of the 214 Vein, while HH26-001, drilled 150 meters north, previously returned 31.9 meters averaging 1.05 g/t Au and 15 g/t Ag. HH26-005, drilled from the same collar, intersected about 58 meters of similar breccia, with assays pending. The company now calls the Lower Telegraph Zone the Lower Telegraph Corridor, a north-south structural system open north, south and at depth, though true thicknesses are not yet known.

Latest news
- Homebuilder Sentiment Drops To Lowest Level Since 2012
Homebuilder confidence has fallen to its lowest level since 2012, according to the latest NAHB and Wells Fargo Housing Market Index. Rising mortgage rates and higher energy and material costs have pushed builder sentiment to a 14-year low, keeping more buyers on the sidelines. Confidence edged up in March, with the headline index rising one point to 38, but it remains below the breakeven level of 50 that separates positive from negative conditions. Prospective buyers are waiting for lower rates and greater economic clarity, while builders face elevated land, labor and construction costs. NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz pointed to global events and energy prices as headwinds, though efforts to reduce regulatory burdens could help long-term housing supply.
- Inflation data shows high energy prices still contained , for now : economists
Canada's annual inflation rate rose to 3.1 per cent in September as gasoline prices jumped 27.8 per cent amid the Middle East war, but came in slightly below the 3.2 per cent economists had expected. Excluding gasoline, consumer prices rose 2.2 per cent, after 2.4 per cent in August. Core measures, CPI-trim at 1.8 per cent and CPI-median at 1.9 per cent, suggest underlying price pressures remain relatively contained and higher energy costs have yet to spread widely. Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem warned the bank was prepared to raise rates if necessary, while CIBC's Andrew Grantham said the data suggests policymakers have little rush to do so. Regional gaps were wide, with Ontario lowest at 2.5 per cent and all three Maritime provinces well above the national rate as heating oil prices surged.
- Sentiment improved , but new tariffs weigh on business outlook : BoC report
The Bank of Canada's business outlook survey found average business sentiment improved in the third quarter, though firms remained worried about rising costs and the war in the Middle East. About three-quarters of the interviews, however, took place before trade talks between Canada and the United States broke down at the end of August and Canada announced new counter-tariffs. Afterward, firms pointed to new U.S. tariffs on some goods and Canadian counter-tariffs as weighing on their outlooks, and the bank said tariffs are dampening sentiment, weakening export and investment prospects, and pushing up costs and prices. A separate consumer survey found long-term inflation expectations rose to match short-term ones, and consumers reported better financial health than last quarter, though high prices and economic uncertainty still weigh on them. The bank's next rate decision and monetary policy report are due Oct. 28.
