Can Gold Prices Rise Again?
Yes, gold prices can rise again if global uncertainty increases and interest rates ease while spot gold recently rebounded to $4,618/oz, up 1.7% in a day. Analysts see support from inflation, central bank buying and weaker dollar trends. In India, 24K gold at ₹15,066/g may gain if rupee weakens.
Key Considerations for Buyers
Compare city-wise rates
Add GST and making charges
Check hallmark certification
Buy in tranches during volatility
Consider ETF for pure investment
Disclaimer: Gold rates are indicative and exclude GST/TCS/levies. Final purchase prices include 3% GST and making charges. Please verify with local jewellers for exact pricing.
