Why Gold Prices Are Rising ?
The rise in gold prices today is due to both international and domestic factors:-
- Global Market Influence: International gold prices are around $2,500 per ounce. The US Federal Reserve’s interest rate policies and inflation worries are keeping global gold demand strong.
- Weak Rupee: The Indian rupee’s fall against the US dollar has increased the cost of imports, adding 2-3% to gold prices in the last week.
- Festive Demand: With Navratri and Diwali approaching, demand for jewelry and coins is picking up. Around 70% of India’s annual gold demand comes from jewelry.
- Historical Trend: On 25 August 2025, 999 purity gold closed at Rs. 9,971 per gram. By 14 September 2025, it touched around Rs. 10,800 a 5-6% increase in less than a month.
This steady rise shows gold’s strength as an inflation hedge and a safe investment.
