The domestic bullion market continues to track international gold prices, movements in the US dollar, geopolitical developments and central bank policies. Demand from the jewellery sector, especially during the ongoing wedding and festive buying season, has also helped keep prices firm. Analysts believe global economic uncertainty and expectations surrounding interest rate decisions could influence bullion prices in the coming weeks.
Investors are advised to compare prices across jewellers and verify the applicable GST, making charges and hallmark certification before purchasing gold jewellery. Those investing in bullion or coins should also monitor daily price movements, as rates are revised every morning based on international market trends. Physical gold, digital gold, sovereign gold bonds and silver remain popular investment options for those seeking portfolio diversification and long-term wealth preservation.
