Kathmandu, August 29, 2026 — The price of gold in Nepal’s domestic market increased by Rs 1,800 per tola last week despite a decline in prices toward the end of the trading week.
According to the Federation of Nepal Gold and Silver Dealers’ Association (FENEGOSIDA), the price of gold rose from Rs 316,700 per tola at the close of the previous week to Rs 318,500 per tola by Friday.
International gold prices also came under pressure late in the week. Reuters reported that gold prices fell around 3 percent on Friday after reaching a three-month high earlier, amid expectations surrounding a possible US Federal Reserve interest-rate hike.
