Meanwhile, the price of silver has slightly increased. Currently, silver is being sold at ₹173 per gram, which is ₹3 more than yesterday's price. One kilogram of silver is priced at ₹1,73,000.
Due to the drop in gold prices, people are flocking to jewelry stores for their wedding needs and for investment purposes. There is renewed interest, especially in pre-bookings for weddings and gold pre-booking schemes.
The Gold Jewelers Association states: “As long as the stock market performs well, gold prices may fall a little more. Gold prices will only rise again when there are changes in the international situation. Until then, it's a good time for those planning to buy jewelry.”
In short, this week's gold price drop is a great relief for homemakers and wedding households. At the same time, investors keeping an eye on the stock market indicates a possibility of a further steady decline in gold prices.
