Regarding the price of gold, experts believe that if the global movement is fast, then its glow can become faster in the coming days. However, if there is a decrease in geopolitical stress, then investors can consider investment in other things as better instead of sleeping.
How is the rate fixed?
Gold and silver prices are fixed on daily basis and many factors are responsible behind it. These mainly include the following causes. Since the prices of gold and silver in the international market are fixed in the US dollars, the change in the dollar-rupaya exchange rate has a direct impact on the price of these metals. If the price of the dollar increases or the rupee is weak, then the prices of gold in India increase.
Most of the gold is imported in India. In such a situation, import duty, GST and other local tax affect gold prices.
In the global market, the upheaval (eg war, economic recession or change in interest rates) directly affects the price of gold. When uncertainty in the global market increases, investors choose safe options such as gold instead of shares or other unstable assets. In India, gold is not only related to investment, but also with tradition and cultural beliefs. Buying gold on marriage, festivals and auspicious occasions is considered auspicious. Therefore, demand is high, which affects prices.
Sona has been a better return option than inflation for a long time. When inflation increases or there is a risk in the stock market, people like to invest in gold. This is the reason that its demand and price always remains.
