What’s Driving the Rise?

Several factors play key role-

Global cues: Rising inflation expectations in the US, dovish interest rate hopes, and geopolitical tensions are bolstering gold’s safe-haven appeal.

Weaker rupee: Declines in the rupee make gold imports costlier, which translates into higher domestic rates.

Festival demand: Although demand for heavy jewellery is subdued, the October-November window still sees interest in gold especially in coin and small jewellery segments.

Investor shift: As price levels surge, many buyers are moving toward gold ETFs, digital gold, or smaller units to maintain liquidity and flexibility.
