Why Did Gold Fell Today?
Gold prices fell by ₹28 per gram today. Key factors influencing gold prices include US Dollar strength, global inflation data, central bank buying, and geopolitical events. Gold typically moves inversely to the US Dollar — when the dollar weakens, gold prices in rupees rise.
India is the world's second-largest consumer of gold. Domestic gold prices are influenced by international spot prices (XAU/USD), import duties (currently 15%), and USD/INR exchange rate.
