Gold price drops Rs 11,300 per tola in Nepal over the past week

Kathmandu, November 15, 2026 — Gold prices in Nepal fell by Rs 11,300 per tola over the past week, while silver also recorded a decline in the domestic market.

According to the Federation of Nepal Gold and Silver Dealers’ Association (FENEGOSIDA), gold was priced at Rs 283,000 per tola when the market closed the previous week. The rate subsequently dropped to Rs 271,700 per tola.

The largest single-day decline came on Friday, when gold prices plunged by Rs 12,600 per tola. Prices recovered by Rs 1,300 on Sunday, while remaining unchanged on the other trading days.

International market movements also contributed to fluctuations in gold prices. According to Reuters, changes in petroleum prices, inflation expectations and interest rates influenced the precious metal's performance during the week.

Reuters reported that gold prices fell three percent on Thursday alone, extending losses for a third consecutive session and reaching their lowest level in more than a year. The decline came as rising oil prices, amid fading hopes for peace in the Middle East, heightened concerns about inflation and the possibility of higher interest rates.

Silver prices also weakened in Nepal, falling by Rs 110 per tola over the week. The price declined from Rs 3,810 to Rs 3,700 per tola.
