How is the price of gold and silver decided?
Gold and silver prices are fixed on daily basis and many economic and social factors are responsible behind it. The main reasons are as follows: Gold and silver prices are fixed in US dollars in the international market. The change in dollar-rupaya exchange rate has a direct impact on gold and silver prices in India. If the dollar is strong or the rupee weakens, then gold becomes expensive in India.
India imports gold most of its needs. In such a situation, import duty, GST and other local tax directly affect the price of gold. Global economic and political events have a profound impact on gold and silver prices. Inspectors choose safe options such as gold and silver instead of unstable properties in the event of war, economic recession, change in interest rates or geopolitical stress. This increases prices.
Gold in India is not only an investment but also a part of tradition and culture. Buying gold on marriage, festivals and auspicious occasions is considered auspicious. Increasing demand on these occasions affects its price. Gold has been considered a safe investment option against inflation for a long time. When inflation increases or there is uncertainty in the stock market, people like to invest in gold. This is the reason why its demand and price always remains.
