How is the rate of gold fixed?
Gold and silver prices are fixed daily and many factors affect them. The main reasons are as follows:
Gold and silver prices are fixed in US dollars in the international market. If the dollar is strong or the rupee weakens, then gold and silver prices in India increase. Most of the gold is imported in India. Therefore, import duty, GST and local tax directly affect its price. Global events such as war, recession, or change in interest rates, have a big impact on the price of these metals. When uncertainty increases, investors buy gold as a “safe investment”, causing prices to rise.
In India, gold is not just investment but is associated with tradition and culture. Gold shopping is considered necessary on marriage, festivals and auspicious occasions. Due to this, prices go up when demand increases. Gold has been working as heedge against inflation for a long time. When the risk in inflation or stock market increases, people consider it safe to invest in gold. This increases both its demand and price. Meaning, gold-silver prices are not only according to the market but also from dollars, tax, global situation and Indian traditions.
