Factors Influencing the Surge

Market analysts attribute today’s price hike to a combination of geopolitical tensions and fluctuations in the international bullion market. International spot gold has been trading near USD 4,900 per ounce, reflecting a safe-haven demand among global investors. Furthermore, the Indian Rupee's performance against the US Dollar and local wedding season demand continue to provide support to domestic prices.

Market Outlook and Context

While gold prices have seen significant volatility throughout February, today's recovery marks a break from the slight decline observed earlier in the week. Historical data from earlier this month shows gold peaked on February 1 at over INR 1,60,000 per 10 grams, suggesting that current rates, while rising, are still slightly below the monthly highs. Investors are advised that the rates mentioned are indicative and do not include Goods and Services Tax (GST), making charges, or other local levies. For exact pricing, customers should consult their local jewellers.
