Silver prices saw even a bigger jump. On Monday, silver was at ₹ 89,175 per kg, which was closed at a record level of ₹ 92,770 per kg on Friday.
Why this fire took place in prices?
According to market experts, many international and domestic reasons are responsible for this unexpected boom:
- Effect of international markets: Due to the expectation of reducing interest rates in the US and global political stress, investors are withdrawing money from risky investment like stock market and putting them in a safe metal. This has increased the demand for gold and prices have reached the sky.
- Dollar weakness: When the dollar is weak in the international market, gold purchases increase, which increases its prices.
- The festive season knock: In view of the festivals and weddings coming in India, the demand for gold and silver has started increasing in the local market. This domestic demand has also given more air to prices.
Overall, rising prices of gold and silver have once again proved that these are not just jewelry, but also an important investment. However, those who are planning to shop in the coming days, now they have to be ready to loose their pockets more than before.
