Factors Influencing Gold Prices:

1. Global Economic Conditions: Economic uncertainties and geopolitical tensions often drive investors toward safe-haven assets like gold, increasing demand and prices.
2. Inflation Rates: Higher inflation diminishes currency value, prompting investors to seek gold as a hedge, thereby elevating its price.
3. Central Bank Policies: Increased gold purchases by central banks bolster demand, contributing to price hikes.
4. Currency Fluctuations: A depreciating rupee against the dollar makes gold more expensive in India, as the country imports most of its gold.
5. Supply and Demand Dynamics: Seasonal demand during festivals and weddings in India, coupled with mining supply constraints, can impact gold prices.
