What Affects Gold Price in India?
- International Bullion Market: Global spot price (USD per ounce) directly impacts Indian rates.
- Rupee-Dollar Movement: A weaker rupee makes gold imports costlier, pushing prices up.
- Import Duty & Taxes: GST, TCS, and customs duty are added on top of base rates.
- Seasonal Demand: Wedding season and festivals drive strong local buying.
- Geopolitical Tensions: Gold is a global safe-haven; global uncertainty pushes prices higher.
22K vs 24K Gold – Which One Should You Buy?
- 24K Gold: Purest form (99.9%), best for investment in coins and bars. Too soft for jewellery.
- 22K Gold: Standard for Indian jewellery (91.6% purity), mixed with metals for durability.
- 18K Gold: Less gold content but strongest; ideal for diamond and studded jewellery.
