Why Are Gold Prices Falling?
The recent decline in gold prices is largely attributed to the US Federal Reserve's strict monetary policy. With no indications of interest rate cuts, investors are moving their funds from non-interest-bearing assets like gold to bank deposits and government bonds, leading to a decrease in gold demand globally.
Moreover, the strengthening US Dollar has made gold imports costlier for countries like India, reducing domestic demand. The combination of reduced investor confidence and subdued global demand has added further pressure on gold prices both in international and Indian markets.
