Gold prices today in your city: Check prices in Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, New Delhi and Kolkata on June 18
Gold and silver prices in your city, June 18:Profit-booking has continued to drag gold prices on June 18, as investors seek to make the most amid the Israel-Iran conflict and ahead of the United States Federal Reserve rate decision later today. Gold rates slipped in the domestic futures market due to rising tensions in the Middle-East amid fears of the conflict spiralling into a major regional war. There are also widespread expectations that the US Fed will maintain benchmark rates due to heightened geopolitical and tariff-related risks. Both factors remain a key support for the yellow metal. Experts feel that gold and silver are safe haven investments in a volatile market, but should be incorporated into your portfolio in a strategic manner. Renisha Chainani, the head of research at Augmont feels that investors should book partial profits if you they have requirements. 'Buy on dips through SIPs or digital gold if you are under-invested. Balanced strategy wins in this market,' she noted.

Year-to-date (YTD), gold prices have risen 31 per cent, solidifying its position among 2025's top-performing asset classes and a reliable hedge. Further, silver has also proved resilient.
