On the Multi Commodity Exchange, gold rose by 0.62%, reaching ₹96,190 per 10 grams, reflecting the current bullish sentiment in the global precious metal markets.
Why Are Gold Prices Fluctuating?
The recent rise in gold prices can be attributed to geopolitical concerns, including renewed tensions in the Middle East, ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, and speculation around U.S. military disengagement from key regions.
In addition to these global developments:
-
The decline in the US dollar value
-
Persisting inflationary pressures
-
And uncertain interest rate policies by central banks
…have all contributed to heightened demand for gold, traditionally seen as a safe-haven asset during economic turmoil.
Is It the Right Time to Invest in Gold?
With gold trading near the ₹98,000-mark for 24-carat purity and a consistent upward trend seen in recent weeks, analysts suggest that gold continues to be a strong medium-to-long term investment. However, short-term traders should remain cautious due to volatility driven by geopolitical developments.
Conclusion
As of May 22, 2025, gold remains on a firm footing in Indian markets. While silver has seen minor corrections, the overall demand for both metals remains strong. With wedding season still ongoing in parts of the country, physical gold demand is also likely to support prices in the short term.
