What’s Fueling the Surge?

Analysts point to multiple factors contributing to the steady rise in precious metal prices. These include:

• Global economic uncertainty

• High demand in the domestic jewelry market

• Fluctuations in the US dollar and interest rates

• Festive and wedding season purchases boosting demand

Outlook for Buyers and Investors

With prices of gold and silver continuing their upward trajectory, investors might view this as a solid hedge against inflation. However, buyers looking to make jewelry purchases may feel the pinch as the rates inch higher each day.

Experts advise tracking global cues and staying updated with daily price trends before making bulk purchases.
