Gold Rates Today: Precious Metal Shines Bright Before Weekend, Prices Touch New High
Before the markets closed for the weekend, gold rates glittered to a sparkling new high, jumping Rs 850 to Rs 1,59,500 per 10 grams in the national capital, while silver remained steady at Rs 2.64 lakh per kilogram. Are you planning to buy gold this session? Because it seems the yellow metal has its moment in the spotlight!
There are two precise reasons for this golden surge. First, global geopolitical tensions-especially rising concerns over a potential US-Iran conflict-are pushing investors toward safe-haven assets. Second, as per local norms, the wedding season is in full swing, and nothing says “bling” quite like freshly minted gold.
Internationally, spot gold rates rose USD 30.83 to USD 5,027.13 per ounce, while silver climbed 2.55% to USD 80.5 per ounce. Experts note that investors are keeping a cautious eye ahead of key economic releases, including PCE inflation, Q4 GDP, and flash PMI data.
According to market analysts, the uptick comes after recent consolidation, with buyers stepping in on dips after earlier volatility. The takeaway? Despite small corrections, the broader trend for gold rates remains supportive.
So, will you jump on the golden bandwagon this wedding season, or watch the glitter from the sidelines?
