In Ahmedabad, the price of gold rose sharply to Rs 65,300 per 10g, marking a significant increase of Rs 600 from the previous day’s price of Rs 64,700. This surge in prices can be attributed to renewed banking sector fears in the US, which has led to a rise in international prices. The New York Community Bancorp’s declaration of mounting losses has further fueled this increase in gold prices.
Experts believe that investors are eagerly awaiting crucial announcements from the US Federal Reserve and US Central Bank to gain more clarity on the global growth outlook. With the current geopolitical crisis escalating, the price of gold is expected to remain volatile and on the higher side. In the domestic market, gold prices are still hovering near record highs, according to Haresh Acharya, director of the India Bullion and Jewellers’ Association.
Industry players have noted that the overall demand for gold has become subdued due to pricing factors. This indicates a shift in consumer behavior as they react to the escalating prices of the precious metal.
It is important for investors to closely monitor these developments and stay informed about global economic indicators to make informed decisions about their investment portfolios. The fluctuations in gold prices reflect the intricate relationship between geopolitical events, economic policies, and market dynamics.
