Market Trend & What’s Happening

• Nationally, gold prices have shown a decline for various purity levels, after a prior upward surge.
• The downward movement is partly influenced by global cues, including signals from Federal Reserve that have affected futures trade.
• In Kolkata, gold price fluctuations have been noticeable this month, with notable variability in high and low rates for 24 K.

What Affects Gold Prices

1. Global Economic Factors – Decisions and minutes from central banks (like the Federal Reserve) can influence gold futures and domestic rates.
2. Local Demand & Supply – Seasonal demand, festive seasons, and local trading can cause shifts in rate. Kolkata’s jewelry market often reflects such dynamics.
3. Purity & Making Charges – The quoted rates here are for pure metal prices. Actual retail cost of jewelry can be higher due to craftsmanship, making charges, and taxes.
4. Market Speculation & Volatility – Gold remains sensitive to global news, investor sentiment, and currency fluctuations.

Tips for Buyers & Investors

• Always check live local rates before purchasing rather than relying on older quotes.
• If buying jewelry, compare multiple retailers—price per gram + making charges can vary significantly.
• For long-term investment, 24 K gold coins/bars may fetch better resale value vs. lower purity, but initial costs are higher.
• Keep an eye on global market trends if you’re investing, as external factors can shift prices quickly.
