On the occasion of the English New Year, gold prices in Chennai witnessed a slight decline, offering temporary relief to buyers. The price of gold, which stood at ₹12,480 per gram the day before yesterday, fell by ₹40 yesterday and was sold at ₹12,440 per gram. Accordingly, one sovereign (8 grams) of 22-carat gold was priced at ₹99,520, down by ₹320 from the previous day’s rate of ₹99,840.
After days of continuous competitive increases in gold and silver prices, this brief dip brought some comfort to consumers. However, the relief was short-lived, as gold prices surged again today, with the price of one sovereign crossing the ₹1 lakh mark.
In Chennai today, the price of 22-carat gold has increased by ₹140 per gram and is being sold at ₹12,580 per gram. Consequently, one sovereign has risen by ₹1,120 and is now priced at ₹1,00,640.
Silver prices have also followed an upward trend. The price of silver has increased by ₹4 per gram and is currently being sold at ₹260 per gram. Bar silver is priced at ₹2,60,000.

Ghee is a staple in many Indian households and is valued for its nutrients and health benefits. But what really happens if you stop consuming it abruptly?
If You Stop Ghee Suddenly
– Your body may go through a short adjustment phase, especially digestive changes
– Some people may feel lighter, while others may notice reduced nutrient absorption
– Avoiding ghee may help stabilize cholesterol levels and reduce heart risk
– Long-term elimination may lead to missing out on fat-soluble vitamins
Key point: For weight loss, limiting ghee can help, but removing it completely may not be ideal.
Health Benefits of Ghee
– Supports digestion and gut health
– Helps absorb fat-soluble vitamins
– Contains butyric acid with anti-inflammatory properties
– Low glycemic index, helpful for blood sugar control
– May support joint health and immunity
How Much Ghee Is Safe?
– Recommended intake: 1-2 tablespoons per day
– Excess intake may increase the risk of heart disease and high cholesterol
– Moderation is essential, even on keto or low-carb diets
The Bottom Line
Ghee is beneficial when consumed in moderation. Stopping it suddenly may have mixed effects, but completely avoiding it long term can deprive your body of important nutrients. Balance is key.
