Market Drivers: Why Gold Prices Remain Elevated
The minor cooling seen today is largely attributed to "profit booking" by investors after gold touched a fresh all-time peak of over USD 5,100 per ounce in the international market on Tuesday. Domestically, the Multi-Commodity Exchange (MCX) reflected this cautious optimism as traders awaited further cues from the U.S. Federal Reserve.
Several factors continue to provide a strong floor for prices:
- Geopolitical Tensions: Ongoing international friction has solidified gold's status as a "safe-haven" asset.
- Currency Fluctuations: A volatile Indian Rupee against the U.S. Dollar has made imported gold more expensive for domestic buyers.
- Central Bank Buying: Aggressive gold accumulation by global central banks throughout January has reduced market supply.
A Record-Breaking January for Gold
The current price of gold is a stark contrast to levels seen just twelve months ago. On this day in 2025, 24-carat gold was priced at approximately INR 79,871 per 10 grams. The leap to over INR 1.6 lakh represents a historic rally, driven by what analysts call a "gauge of fear" in global financial markets. Dubai Gold Rate Today: 18K, 22K, 24K Gold Prices for January 27.
While the high prices have led to more cautious "token buying" for the ongoing wedding season, investment demand for digital gold, ETFs, and gold coins remains robust as households look to hedge against inflation.
