Gold Prices Rise Again After Four Days of Decline
New Delhi: After experiencing a continuous decline for four days, gold prices rose again today, November 7th. This is welcome news for investors as gold has become more expensive once again.
In the capital city of Delhi, 24-karat gold has increased to ₹122,730 per 10 grams, while 22-karat gold has reached ₹112,510 per 10 grams.
This surge in gold prices is being observed not only in India but also in global markets. The US government shutdown has become the longest on record, increasing uncertainty in financial markets. In such situations, investors turn to safe-haven assets, and gold is considered a safe investment.
