New Delhi: Gold prices continued their upward trend on January 26, 2026, causing concern among buyers as rates moved further out of reach for many consumers. Analysts attribute the sharp rise to fluctuations in the international market, coupled with increased domestic demand driven by the ongoing wedding season.
