The price of 10 grams of 22-carat gold also decreased and is now recorded at Rs 369,510.Experts say the decline in gold prices is linked to ongoing volatility in global bullion markets, changes in international gold rates, and fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Over the past few months, gold prices had surged to record levels due to economic uncertainty, inflationary pressures, and global geopolitical developments.
Traders noted that despite the current drop, gold remains a key investment choice for investors seeking a hedge against inflation and economic instability. Market analysts believe that gold prices may continue to fluctuate in the coming days depending on trends in the international market and investor sentiment.
Consumers meanwhile, have welcomed the reduction in prices, hoping for further declines that could boost buying activity in the local bullion market.
