Gold Price Today: Strong Rally Pushes Gold And Silver Higher Across India, Check Prices

New Delhi: After several days of softening, the prices of gold and silver once again gained momentum in the bullion market on Saturday. The effect of strong signals from the international market was clearly visible on the domestic market as well, due to which the prices of both precious metals increased in most of the cities of the country. Due to the rise in gold prices globally and weakness in the dollar, investors' inclination towards gold has again increased. Its effect was also seen in the Indian market, where a significant increase was recorded in the prices of 22 and 24 carat gold.

Why did gold prices suddenly rise?

According to market experts, there has been a change in the strategy of global investors after the latest inflation data released from America. The dollar came under pressure after the US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index increased and expectations of aggressive interest rate hikes weakened. In such an environment, investors again turned to gold as a safe investment option, due to which its price strengthened in the international market and its direct effect was seen in the domestic market as well.

What is the price of gold in major cities of the country?

In the capital Delhi, the price of 24 carat gold has increased to Rs 1,42,960 per 10 grams, while 22 carat gold is being sold at Rs 1,31,060 per 10 grams. In Mumbai and Kolkata, the price of 24 carat gold was recorded at Rs 1,42,760 and the price of 22 carat gold was recorded at Rs 1,30,860 per 10 grams. Gold in Chennai remains the most expensive among major cities of the country, where the price of 24 carat gold has reached Rs 1,45,100 and the price of 22 carat gold has reached Rs 1,33,010 per 10 grams.

Has silver also gained momentum?

Along with gold, there has also been a good rise in the prices of silver. In the domestic market, silver has reached the level of around Rs 2,40,100 per kg. Spot silver price remains strong in the international market also. Experts say that the dollar-rupee exchange rate and global demand are also continuously affecting the prices of silver.

Which direction might gold prices go next?

Analysts believe that if global economic uncertainty and dollar weakness continues, gold prices may see further strength in the coming days. However, the upcoming monetary policy of the US Federal Reserve, geopolitical situation and international market movements will determine important signals for investors. Therefore, there will be a possibility of price fluctuations.

What things should be kept in mind before buying gold?

If you are planning to buy gold for gold jewellery or investment, then first of all check the latest market price. Apart from this, buy only hallmarked gold and get information about making charges, GST and other additional charges in advance. It is also important to take the bill at the time of purchase so that there is no problem in future.
