The price of gold has jumped by Rs 1,300 per tola in the domestic market on Friday, reaching Rs 122,000 per tola for fine gold. This is a significant increase from the previous day’s rate of Rs 120,700 per tola. Similarly, standard gold is now being sold at Rs 121,400 per tola, up from Rs 120,100 per tola on Thursday, as reported by the Federation of Nepal Gold and Silver Dealers’ Associations.
In addition to the rise in gold prices, the price of silver has also seen an increase of Rs 15 per tola, with silver now being traded at Rs 1,490 per tola compared to Rs 1,475 per tola on Thursday.
This sudden increase in the price of precious metals in the Nepali market could be attributed to various factors such as changes in global demand and supply, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, and geopolitical events. Investors and consumers should monitor these developments closely to make informed decisions regarding their gold and silver investments.
One possible insight into the gold price increase is the rise in demand for safe-haven assets amid economic uncertainties and geopolitical tensions. As the global economy faces challenges, investors may be turning to gold as a store of value, driving up its price in the domestic market. This trend underscores the importance of gold as a traditional hedge against market volatility.
