International Markets Push Gold Prices to New Heights Ahead of Festive Season

IND (Economy India): Gold and silver prices have surged to unprecedented levels as the festive season approaches. The international market has seen gold reach new record highs, and domestic markets are following suit. If you are planning to purchase gold or silver, here’s what you need to know about current prices and the factors behind the rise.

Record High Gold Prices

Gold prices have risen sharply in the international market. On Friday, gold prices saw a rise of approximately 1% due to growing expectations that the Federal Reserve might cut interest rates next week. In the domestic market, gold prices have also climbed significantly. On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), the price of gold has increased by around ₹450 per 10 grams, with October futures reaching ₹73,275 per 10 grams.

Silver Prices Surge

Silver prices have also experienced a notable increase. On the MCX, silver opened at ₹87,606 per kilogram. The December futures contract for silver rose by ₹840 per kilogram, reaching an intraday high of ₹87,940 per kilogram.

Reasons for the Price Surge

Several factors are contributing to the record highs in gold and silver prices:

  1. Weakening US Dollar: The decline in the value of the US dollar has supported higher gold prices. As the dollar weakens, gold becomes more attractive as an alternative investment.
  2. Interest Rate Cut Expectations: Expectations that the Federal Reserve may cut interest rates have driven up gold prices. Lower interest rates generally make gold more appealing as it doesn’t yield interest.
  3. Geopolitical Tensions: Increased geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the escalating conflict between Ukraine and Russia have further supported the upward trend in gold prices.
  4. Strong Demand: The strong demand for gold futures has led to prices reaching all-time highs for three consecutive sessions. Although there were occasional drops in gold prices in September, due to mixed US economic data, the overall trend has been upward.

Expert Insight

An expert from NDTV Profit noted, “Gold prices are soaring due to a combination of factors including a weakening dollar, potential interest rate cuts, and geopolitical uncertainties. These elements have created a perfect storm for record-breaking gold prices.”

As gold and silver prices reach new heights, it’s essential for buyers to stay informed about the factors influencing these changes. The festive season may drive further demand, but the current economic and geopolitical climate suggests that high prices could persist.
