How Gold Prices In India Are Determined?
Contrary to popular belief, gold prices in India aren’t solely driven by physical gold demand and supply. Instead, they’re significantly influenced by trading activities on major global markets, including the London OTC spot market and the COMEX gold futures market.
Furthermore, other factors like global events, political issues, central bank decisions, and currency changes can also fuel the change in the prices of the precious metal.
