Gold corrects 26% from record high | Is this a buying opportunity ahead of Diwali?

6 Oct 2026 · LiveMint Markets

Gold rate today: Market analysts believe that this downturn has made valuations relatively more attractive, with prices now around $4,136/oz and MCX gold trading below the ₹1.50 lakh mark.

Because the driver here is macro rather than company-specific, the read-through is to index-level positioning rather than to any single name — correlations tend to rise when the whole market faces the same signal.

  • This is a market-wide development — its reach goes beyond any single stock.
  • The immediate tone of coverage reads positive.
