Why Are Gold Prices Rising?
Gold prices have surged to record highs globally, supported by a combination of factors:
- Rising geopolitical uncertainty, which has boosted demand for safe-haven assets
- Expectations of further interest rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve next year
- Strong central bank buying and sustained ETF inflows
- Ongoing de-dollarisation trends in global trade and reserves
So far this year, gold has gained more than 70%, marking its strongest annual performance since 1979. Silver has outperformed gold, rising over 150% during the same period, driven by investment demand and its inclusion on the US critical minerals list.
Factors Influencing Gold Prices in India
Gold prices in India are influenced by several domestic and global factors, including:
- International gold spot prices
- US dollar movement and interest rate outlook
- Import duties and local taxes
- Currency exchange rates
- Seasonal demand linked to weddings and festivals
Given gold’s dual role as both a cultural asset and an investment hedge, market participants closely track daily price movements. Investors are advised to monitor global cues alongside domestic rates before making buying or selling decisions.
