Perspectives & Market Situation
Gold stays an insurance policy in the face of economic volatility and uncertainty. Markets pay close attention to global signals, even though the all-India average—₹10,135 per gramme for 24K—is comparable to municipal rates. Demand is remaining robust despite rising geopolitical tensions, inflation, and currency fluctuations.
Notably, gold’s rising value was highlighted on August 7 when it reached a new high of about ₹1.01 lakh per 10g.
Buying Tips for Consumers
-
City choice matters less today, as rates are nearly uniform across metros.
-
Consider purity and purpose: If you’re investing, 24K is more liquid; for jewellery, 22K offers durability and is widely preferred.
-
Look beyond base price: Additional costs like making charges, GST, and taxes can significantly affect the final outlay.
