Gold Price Today 13 May 2026: Gold prices in India continued their upward momentum on May 13, 2026, supported by inflation concerns, volatile global markets and persistent geopolitical tensions.
Domestic bullion rates witnessed moderate gains across major cities while international gold prices remained highly volatile due to fluctuations in the US dollar and crude oil markets.
