What is the price of silver today?
Silver prices also remained subdued today. The price of 999-purity silver is hovering around ₹2,44,900 per kilogram. A decline has been recorded compared to the previous trading session.
Why are gold and silver prices falling?
According to experts, investors are cautious ahead of the US Federal Reserve's next policy meeting. Additionally, the strengthening of the dollar index has slightly dampened the demand for gold. This is why the decline in the international market has impacted the Indian market as well.
Things to keep in mind before buying
When buying gold, always check for the BIS hallmark and compare the rates for 22-carat and 24-carat gold. Also, inquire about making charges and GST beforehand, as these factors can increase your total bill.
