Gold Prices Rise in Visakhapatnam on December 17, 2025

Gold prices in Visakhapatnam moved higher on Tuesday, December 17, 2025, reflecting a broader upswing seen across Indian bullion markets. Local jewellers reported a noticeable increase in both 22 carat and 24 carat gold rates, while silver prices remained elevated near record levels.

As per the latest available rates, 10 grams of 22 carat gold in Visakhapatnam is priced at Rs 1,23,300, marking an increase of Rs 600 compared to the previous session.

At the same time, 10 grams of 24 carat gold is trading at Rs 1,34,510, up by Rs 650.

Silver prices continue to stay firm, with one kilogram of silver quoted at Rs 2,22,000 in the city.

Market participants say the rise in local gold prices mirrors trends seen at the national level, where retail gold rates edged higher after a brief phase of profit booking earlier in the week.

Across major Indian cities, 24 carat gold is hovering around Rs 13,450 per gram, while 22 carat gold is trading close to Rs 12,330 per gram.

These levels translate closely to the rates seen in Visakhapatnam, with minor variations due to local taxes and jeweller margins.

The recent movement in prices comes amid continued volatility in the international bullion market.

Global gold prices have been reacting to changing expectations around United States interest rates, fluctuations in the dollar and upcoming macroeconomic data.

Domestically, a weaker rupee has added further pressure, increasing the landed cost of imported gold and supporting higher prices in the Indian market.

Traders note that over the past few weeks, gold prices had seen some softening during the wedding season, with rates fluctuating near Rs 1,20,000 for 10 grams of 24 carat gold and around Rs 1,30,000 for 10 grams of 22 carat gold.

The latest uptick suggests renewed buying interest as well as support from global cues.

It is important for buyers to remember that the prices quoted are indicative rates recorded around 8 am.

Gold prices can change multiple times during the day based on market movements.

The rates mentioned reflect the previous session’s closing levels, while intraday prices may open higher or lower depending on fresh developments in domestic and global markets.

For consumers planning to purchase gold jewellery or bullion, experts advise keeping a close watch on live prices and also factoring in making charges and taxes, which can significantly affect the final purchase cost.

With gold and silver trading near historically high levels, even small daily fluctuations can make a meaningful difference to the overall bill.
