Internationally, gold remained supported by expectations around central bank policy decisions, inflation concerns and fluctuations in the US dollar. These factors continue to influence domestic bullion prices, along with import duties, the rupee’s exchange rate and local demand.
Silver also traded on a firm note, tracking gains in overseas markets. Apart from being a popular investment option, silver enjoys strong industrial demand from sectors such as electronics, renewable energy and automobile manufacturing, helping keep prices resilient.
Retail gold prices differ across cities due to variations in state taxes, transportation costs and jewellers’ pricing policies. Similarly, silver prices may vary slightly depending on local market conditions. Buyers planning to invest in bullion or purchase jewellery are advised to check the latest rates before making a purchase.
Market experts believe bullion prices may remain volatile in the coming weeks as investors closely monitor global economic data, inflation trends and geopolitical developments. Any major movement in international gold prices or the rupee-dollar exchange rate could influence domestic bullion prices.
With the festive and wedding season approaching, demand for gold jewellery is expected to remain healthy despite elevated prices. Investors are also keeping a close watch on bullion as a hedge against market uncertainty.
Consumers should note that jewellery purchases also attract making charges and GST, which are charged separately from the listed bullion prices. Checking BIS hallmark certification and comparing rates across jewellers can help buyers make informed purchasing decisions.
