How are gold and silver prices determined?

Gold and silver prices depend on several international and domestic factors

Dollar-Rupee Exchange Rate

Since gold prices in the international market are fixed in dollars, if the dollar appreciates or the rupee weakens, gold prices in India rise.

Import Duties and Taxes

Most of the gold in India is imported. Therefore, import duty, GST, and local taxes influence prices.

Global Events

Global crises such as war, economic recession, or changes in interest rates can increase demand for gold as investors consider it a safe investment.

Demand and Tradition in India

In India, gold is not only associated with investment purposes but also with weddings, festivals, and religious occasions. This cultural demand keeps prices constantly active.

Inflation and Market Risk

When inflation rises or the stock market is volatile, investors consider gold a safe haven.

Gold Prices soar to record highs amid global economic uncertainty and weak dollar

The recent decline in gold prices is linked to international market expectations and potential Federal Reserve policies. However, the traditional demand for gold in India and market volatility continue to make it a strong investment option.

It will be important to see how the global financial situation evolves in the coming days and how it impacts gold and silver prices.
