What is the primary reason for these market fluctuations?

The fluctuations in gold and silver prices are driven by both international and local factors. A sudden rise in crude oil prices in the global market, combined with concerns regarding interest rates, has triggered a sell-off. But the scene in India is completely different—thanks to Dhanteras and Diwali, shops are packed with crowds, and people are also investing heavily in ETFs. This is precisely why, instead of crashing, prices have remained stable, providing strong support to the market.
