How is the price of gold and silver decided?
The prices of gold and silver are decided daily on the basis of many important factors. The biggest reason is the international market and the dollar-rupee exchange rate, because globally the prices of gold and silver are fixed in US dollars. If the dollar strengthens or the rupee weakens, the prices of these precious metals increase in India. Additionally, a large portion of gold in India is imported, so import duty, GST and other taxes also affect the prices. Situations like international war, economic recession, geopolitical tension or changes in interest rates also have a direct impact on gold prices. When uncertainty increases in global markets, investors move away from risky assets like the stock market and towards safer investment options like gold.
Along with this, the social and cultural importance of gold in India also affects its prices. Buying gold on weddings, festivals and auspicious occasions is traditionally considered auspicious, due to which its demand remains constant. Even in times of inflation, gold is considered a reliable option for investors, because it has the ability to provide better protection and returns against inflation in the long run. This is the reason why due to global uncertainties, search for safe investment options and strong demand, gold prices are expected to remain strong in the coming times.
