Big rise in silver prices too

Today, not only gold, but silver prices have also seen a big rise. In the major cities of the country, the price of 1 kg silver has increased by Rs 2,200 to Rs 1,15,100. This increase is also believed to be related to the changed attitude of investors and the impact of global developments.

Main reasons for the increase in gold prices
Global investment trend: Due to the possible cut in interest rates in the US and weak job data, investors are investing in gold instead of the stock market.

Weak rupee against dollar: The rupee has declined due to pressure put on India by former US President Donald Trump to buy oil from Russia, which has now reached Rs 88 per dollar. Due to the weak rupee, imports have become expensive, which has led to a rise in the price of gold.

Impact of international events: Global geopolitical events and the impact of US policies have also pushed the price of gold upwards.
