What's behind this
On November 5, gold prices in Sangli rose, mirroring gains in global bullion markets after the US midterm election results. The rise was noted ahead of Dhanteras 2026, with current rates for 24K, 22K and 18K gold and silver also listed. Despite the recent increase, jewellers expect a fall in gold prices to stimulate Dhanteras sales, forecasting that coins and bars will lead sales driven by investment sentiment and traditional gifting.
