Why are rates different in different cities?
IBJA gold prices do not include 3% GST, making charge, jewelers margin. Therefore the rates of cities are different from this. RBI uses these rates to decide the rates of Sovereign Gold Bond. Many banks use it to decide the rates of gold loan.
3 main reasons for the rise in gold
- Dollar weak – Due to America’s reduction in interest rates, the dollar weakened and the holding cost of gold came down, due to which people started buying it.
- Geopolitical – Due to Russia-Ukraine war and increasing tension in the world, investors are buying gold considering it as the safest investment.
- reserve Bank – Countries like China are filling their reserve banks with gold, they are purchasing more than 900 tonnes in a year, hence the prices are going up.
3 main reasons for the rise in silver
- Industrial Demand – Heavily used in solar, electronics and EV, silver has now become an essential raw material and not just jewellery.
- Trump’s tariff fear – American companies are accumulating huge stocks of silver, prices rose due to reduction in global supply.
- Manufacturers in competition – Everyone is already buying due to the fear of production stoppage, which is why the rise will continue in the coming months also.
Prices may increase further in the coming days
Ajay Kedia, Director of Kedia Advisory, says that the demand for silver is currently on a rise which is expected to continue further. In such a situation, silver can go up to Rs 2.75 lakh in the next 1 year. By the end of this year, the price of silver can reach Rs 2.10 lakh per kg. If we talk about gold, its demand also remains strong. In such a situation, by next year it may cross Rs 1.50 lakh per 10 grams.
