Factors influencing the market

Market watchers pointed to a mix of global and local triggers shaping sentiment in the precious metals segment:

• Geopolitical tensions and global risk appetite, which remain key drivers of gold demand.


• Rupee fluctuations, with depreciation raising import costs and influencing domestic prices.

Advice for buyers and investors

Experts urged buyers to remain discerning amid frequent price swings. Common recommendations included:

• Opting for BIS-hallmarked jewellery to ensure purity.


• Comparing rates across multiple jewellers.


• Requesting clear invoices that specify weight, purity and pricing.


• Monitoring daily rate adjustments before making large purchases.
