A significant drop in crude oil prices is strengthening market sentiment, although it also indicates a possible slowdown in global demand.
According to experts, “Gold remains bullish due to festive demand in India, as well as the market has risen in anticipation of Trump’s victory in the upcoming US election. This optimism has led to a surge in liquidity in the gold markets.” According to the Indian Bullion and Jewelers Association, the price of 24 carat gold remains at Rs 79,680 per 10 grams.
