Gold price today recovered to Rs 77,160 as of 6:50 a.m., according to the India Bullion Association. This comes after the price dipped below Rs 76,000 on Nov. 26. The recovery was Rs 1,740 from Nov. 26 and the prices had seen a steady recovery after hitting the low.
Prices had seen a significant decline throughout the month as the demand for the commodity was lower. October had seen a stronger demand ahead of festivities, as prices went up to Rs 81,500. The prices immediately slipped under the pressure of reduced demand, dipping as low as Rs 74,390, mirroring record lows.
The global price has seen much movement, as events like the US election results and geo-political conflicts have had direct impact on rates. Domestic markets have followed suit and seen some volatility in prices due to these cues and events.
The slump was also sustained by the preference of equities over the safe-play investment. A slip in demand post festive season had caused a sharp decline, before the prices were pushed up by geo-political conflicts. The Russia-Ukraine conflict flared up, bringing a rebound in the rates.
