Gold prices in India continued to move on a firm note on Friday, February 21, 2026, extending the recent upward trend in bullion markets. The rise has kept both jewellery buyers and investors attentive, especially as wedding season demand remains steady across major cities.

According to the latest benchmark data released by the India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA), gold recorded a marginal increase compared to the previous trading session.

What Is Driving The Movement?

Bullion analysts attribute the gradual rise to a mix of global uncertainty, currency fluctuations and ongoing seasonal demand. Even small increases in benchmark rates influence retail jewellery pricing, which is why daily tracking remains important for buyers planning purchases or investments.

For investors, the current trend signals stability rather than volatility, while jewellery shoppers may see slightly higher bills if the upward momentum continues over the coming weeks.
