Gold Rate in Kolkata Today, July 13, 2026: Gold Prices Extend Their Decline After Weekend Pause 

Kolkata, July 13: Gold prices began the week on a weaker note in Kolkata, giving back some of the gains made earlier this month. After staying unchanged on Sunday, rates slipped again on Monday, offering a bit of relief to buyers who had been waiting for prices to cool. 

According to today’s retail rates, 24-karat gold is selling at ₹14,291 per gram, down ₹142 from the previous session. 22-karat gold has fallen by ₹130 to ₹13,100 per gram, while 18-karat gold is now priced at ₹10,718 per gram, lower by ₹107. 

The correction isn’t unusually sharp, but it’s becoming more noticeable. The excitement that pushed gold prices higher during the first week of July has clearly slowed, and the market now appears to be settling into a more measured pace. 

Kolkata Gold Rate Today 

The Early-July Rally Has Lost Some Steam 

The first few trading sessions of July were difficult for anyone planning to buy gold. 

Prices climbed quickly and 24K gold touched ₹14,700 per gram on July 3, the highest level seen this month. Many buyers chose to wait instead of purchasing at those elevated rates, hoping the rally would eventually cool. 

That patience is beginning to pay off. 

Over the past week, prices have gradually drifted lower. There haven’t been dramatic crashes or panic selling—just a steady pullback that has chipped away at the earlier gains. 

Even after the recent decline, gold remains comfortably above where it started the month. Compared with July 1, 24K gold is still ₹213 per gram higher, while 22K gold has gained ₹195 per gram. In other words, July is still shaping up to be a positive month despite the recent correction.

How Much Would 10 Grams of 22K Jewellery Cost Today? 

The quoted gold rate is only part of the final bill. 

Jewellers also add making charges and GST, which increase the amount customers actually pay. Depending on the design and the store, the final figure can vary. 

Using today’s gold price, 12% making charges and 3% GST, here’s an estimate. 

The final amount may differ depending on the jeweller, the type of jewellery and the making charges applied. 

10-Day Gold Price Trend 

July 13: ₹14,291 (-₹142) 

July 12: ₹14,433 (No change) 

July 11: ₹14,433 (-₹49) 

July 10: ₹14,482 (+₹38) 

July 9: ₹14,444 (+₹131) 

July 8: ₹14,313 (-₹213) 

July 7: ₹14,526 (-₹136) 

July 6: ₹14,662 (-₹11) 

July 5: ₹14,673 (No change) 

July 4: ₹14,673 (-₹27) 

The past ten days tell an interesting story. After the sharp swings at the start of July, the market has settled into a pattern of smaller day-to-day movements. That’s usually a sign that buyers and sellers are reassessing where prices should be after a strong rally. 

It doesn’t necessarily mean the uptrend is over—it simply suggests the market is taking a breather. 

July Performance So Far 

Although gold has slipped from its monthly high, it hasn’t erased the gains made earlier in July. Prices are still more than 1.5% above where they began the month, suggesting that the broader trend remains positive even as short-term momentum softens. 

Why Do Gold Prices Change Every Day? 

Gold prices are influenced by far more than local jewellery demand. 

International bullion prices, movements in the rupee against the US dollar, import duties, inflation expectations, central bank policies and global economic uncertainty all play a role. Even when demand at local jewellery stores remains steady, these global factors can push prices higher or lower from one day to the next. 

Conclusion 

Monday’s decline has made gold slightly more affordable for buyers in Kolkata, continuing the gradual correction that has unfolded over the past week. While the market has clearly cooled from its early-July highs, prices remain comfortably above where they started the month. The next few sessions will show whether this is simply a healthy pullback or the beginning of a deeper correction.
