Why are Prices Fluctuating?
Market analysts point toward several key factors driving the current volatility:
Geopolitical Tensions: Stalled diplomatic talks in West Asia have kept the bullion market on edge.
Currency Fluctuations: The strength of the US Dollar against the Rupee is making imports costlier.
Inflationary Concerns: Rising oil prices and supply chain disruptions are pushing investors toward gold as a safe-haven asset.
Before purchasing, consumers are advised to check the Hallmark and verify the "Live Rate" with local jewellers, as these prices do not include GST (3%) and making charges.
