4 Reasons for Gold Price Increase:
- Geopolitical Tension – Donald Trump’s return to power in the US has increased geopolitical tensions.
- Weak Rupee – The weakening of the Indian rupee against the US dollar is making gold more expensive.
- Inflation – Rising inflation is also supporting the gold price.
- Stock Market Volatility – Investors are shifting towards gold due to fluctuations in the stock market.
Gold May Reach ₹90,000 This Year
Ajay Kedia, Director of Kedia Advisory, predicts that after a major rally, gold prices saw a correction, but now they are rising again. Interest rate cuts in the UK and increasing geopolitical tensions are supporting gold prices. Additionally, investments in Gold ETFs are increasing, boosting demand. Because of these factors, gold could reach ₹90,000 per 10 grams this year.
Buy Only Certified Gold
Always buy BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) Hallmarked certified gold. Gold has a 6-digit Hallmark Code, known as HUID (Hallmark Unique Identification Number), which is alphanumeric (e.g., AZ4524). Hallmarking ensures the gold’s purity and carat value.
