Gold prices dip by Rs 150 per 10 grams amid stable dollar in global markets
Gold prices in India fell by about Rs 150 per 10 grams despite festive buying, as the dollar remained steady in global markets.
Gold prices in India recorded a modest decline, with the 10‑gram benchmark falling by roughly Rs 150. The dip occurred even as consumers continued festive purchases, indicating that market sentiment was influenced more by international currency movements than domestic demand.
Analysts attribute the price drop to a stable US dollar in the global market. With the dollar holding its value, the cost of gold, which is priced in dollars, faced downward pressure, translating into lower rupee rates for the precious metal.
The decline comes at a time when Indian shoppers traditionally increase gold purchases during festivals. However, the steadiness of the dollar appears to have outweighed the seasonal buying surge, leading to the observed price correction.
Market observers note that while the fall is modest, it reflects the sensitivity of Indian gold prices to global currency trends. Traders and buyers are likely to monitor further dollar movements for clues on future price directions.
