Gold continues to shine brightly in global markets today, February 11, 2026. The **spot price** of gold hovers around **$5,060 to $5,075 per troy ounce** in USD, showing a modest gain of about 0.7-0.8% from yesterday. This keeps the yellow metal firmly above the historic $5,000 milestone it crossed recently, reflecting strong momentum in early 2026.
In India, where gold holds deep cultural and investment value, **24-karat gold** trades at approximately **₹15,850 per gram** (or around ₹1,58,500 per 10 grams), with slight variations across cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and others. Some metros saw minor upticks of ₹800-₹1,200 per 10 grams today, while others experienced small corrections after recent surges.
This strength in gold's position stems from ongoing safe-haven demand amid geopolitical uncertainties, expectations of accommodative central bank policies (like from the Fed), renewed buying by institutions such as China's central bank, and a softer US dollar. Investors view gold as a reliable hedge against inflation and economic volatility.
As we move through 2026, gold's trajectory remains upward, with analysts watching key data releases like US jobs reports for further cues. Whether you're buying jewelry, coins, or investing digitally, today's levels highlight gold's enduring appeal as a timeless asset.
