Investor & Buyer Outlook

Despite the price uptick, gold remains at elevated levels for the average consumer. Retail jewellery prices are currently hovering between ₹13,630 and ₹13,725 per gram across most top-tier brands.

Experts remind buyers that the final "on-the-counter" price will be higher than the board rate once making charges (which cover design and labor) and the 3% GST are added. With the market currently sensitive to geopolitical developments and currency movements, participants are maintaining a cautious but active stance.

Market experts suggest that buyers remain cautious. While the immediate boost is tied to geopolitical relief and currency fluctuations, long-term trends will still depend on upcoming central bank interest rate decisions.
