Gold Prices Fall a Little – Is Now a Good Time to Buy?

I had been all prepared to buy gold because it seemed like a good moment. However, with prices skyrocketing on August 26, 2025, I am considering whether I should find other ways to use my plan. It turns out a lot is going on behind the scenes.

Back in the last week, FED Chair at the Jackson Hall speech hinted at the rate cut. So now as the U.S. Federal Reserve is expected to lower interest rates in the near future, this would give gold greater appeal among investors worldwide. The recent dismissal of a Fed governor by President Trump has caused a stir in the markets, softening the value of the U.S. dollar and pushing gold prices up.

To top that, the global economic environment is also being affected by other factors such as tensions in the Middle East and the U.S.-China trade conflict, making investors wary. This means an increasing number of people are turning to gold as a safe haven, pushing prices even higher.

In India, the rupee is weaker against the dollar, making imported gold more costly. The wedding season and festivals are also contributing to the local price increase. Diwali being around the corner has the effect on the price. 

Considering all this, I think I will wait and see how the market swings and hold off on purchasing gold. Prices may stabilize in the near future, and then we can all get in the gold market.

Gold Price And Silver Rates Amid Tariff Concerns

Gold Rates on MCX – August 20, 2025 

By August 26, 2025, futures on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) were trading above ₹1,00,000 per 10 grams, showing that investors are interested in the yellow metal.

The gold futures contract dated October 3, 2025, was priced at ₹1,00,638, while the contract dated September 5, 2025, was quoted at ₹1,00,171. Another futures contract priced at ₹1,00,385 traded on October 3 also indicates a similar price.

The rise in gold prices is due to the weakening US dollar and market hopes of a US Federal Reserve interest rate cut in September. This has made gold an attractive safe-haven asset amid global economic uncertainty.
