How is the rate fixed?
Gold and silver prices vary daily due to many reasons. Their prices primarily depend on factors such as dollar exchange rates, import duty and tax, global market status, demand and tradition and inflation in India. Since the prices of gold and silver internationally are fixed in the US dollars, when the rupee is weak against the dollar, gold becomes expensive in India.
Apart from this, India is the biggest importer of gold, so the import duty, GST and other taxes on it increase its price. Investors choose gold as a safe alternative in uncertain conditions such as war, economic recession or change in interest rates globally, which increases its demand and price.
Gold also has social and cultural significance in India, because its demand increases rapidly on marriage, festivals and auspicious occasions. At the same time, gold is considered a means of prevention of inflation and people consider it a safe means of investment when there is instability in stock market or other investment options. All these reasons together determine the price of gold and silver.
