Gold rates in India extended their upward momentum for the third straight day on February 21, 2026, marking a strong rally in the domestic market. The price of 24 Karat gold rose by Rs 191 per gram to Rs 15,928, while 22 Karat gold increased by Rs 175 per gram to Rs 14,600. With this surge, gold has jumped by nearly Rs 50,800 per 100 grams of 24 Karat gold over the past three sessions.

The sharp rise in gold prices comes amid heightened global uncertainty. A landmark US Supreme Court ruling against global tariffs triggered volatility across financial markets, prompting investors to rush towards safe-haven assets such as gold.

Adding to the uncertainty, US President Donald Trump approved a 10% global tariff on all countries just hours after the court decision, further boosting demand for gold as a hedge.

Silver prices also turned bullish on Friday. After remaining flat in the previous session, silver surged by Rs 5,000 per kg to reach Rs 2,75,000 per kg.

"Markets are increasingly pricing future monetary easing across major economies, and any clear indication towards rate cuts would lower real yields and weaken the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold. Ongoing geopolitical tensions, elevated sovereign debt levels, and continued central-bank diversification into bullion provides ongoing demand," Ross Maxwell, Global Strategy Operations Lead, VT Markets.
