Factors Affecting Gold Price in India

Gold is one of the most popular investment tools worldwide, especially in India. Like other financial assets, the price of gold also keeps fluctuating. While demand for gold is one of the key factors that determines its market price, a gamut of other factors have a role too. Find below some of the factors affecting daily gold rates.

1. Demand

Like any other commodity, demand and supply economics has a huge impact on gold prices. Increased demand with constrained or low supply usually results in a price hike. Similarly, an oversupply of gold with stagnant or weak demand can push the prices lower. In general, the demand for gold rises in India during the wedding and festive seasons.

2. Inflation

During inflation, the value of the currency goes down. In such a scenario, may prefer to hold onto money in the form of gold. This results in a spike in the prices of gold, which, in a way, acts as a hedging tool against inflationary conditions.

3. Interest rates

Gold and interest rates tend to have an inverse relationship. As the interest rates increase, people tend to sell off their gold to earn high interest. Similarly, when the interest rates decrease, people tend to buy more gold, thus increasing the demand.

4. Monsoon

A major part of gold demand in India comes from rural areas. This demand usually tends to escalate after a good monsoon, harvest, and resultant profits.

5. Government Reserves

Many governments have financial reserves that are composed primarily of gold, and India is no exception. However, if this reserve exceeds the gold sold by the government, the gold prices increase due to an insufficient supply. In India, this reserve is maintained by the Reserve Bank Of India.

6. Currency fluctuations

Gold trade in the international market transacts in US dollars. During import, when the US dollars are converted to Indian rupees, the gold price fluctuates. Usually, if the Indian rupee depreciates, gold import turns to be costlier.

7. Correlation with other assets

Gold has a low to negative correlation with all the major asset classes and thus, makes for a highly effective portfolio diversifier. As per the experts, gold protects one's portfolio from volatility because the factors that affect the returns from most asset classes do not influence the price of gold much. Some even believe that as the shares of a company fall, an inverse correlation might develop between gold and equities.

8. Geopolitical factors

During geopolitical turmoils, such as a war, the demand for gold tends to go up as a safe haven for parking funds. Thus, while a geopolitical turmoil negatively impacts the prices of most asset classes, it has a positive impact on gold prices.

9. Octroi charges and Entry tax

Octroi charge and entry tax are local taxes levied by the tax authorities when goods enter their jurisdiction (state/city). Octroi is levied when the goods enter a city, whereas Entry tax is levied when the goods enter a state. Furthermore, if your gold is valued at more than Rs. 30 lakhs, a wealth tax is levied on it.

10. Making charges

Making charges are usually levied on gold jewellery and may differ from piece-to-piece, depending on the design, as well as from jeweller-to-jeweller.

Gold Buying Guide

Gold has been at the top of investor’s list for centuries now. One of the most popular forms of investments in India, it is considered as an important tool of financial security.

Besides the financial aspect, this yellow metal also holds religious and cultural significance in many a culture, factors which also add to its market value.

Although the modern markets are flooded with digital gold, the charm of physical gold stays intact.

However, investing in gold can be a tricky business and requires careful consideration of many factors. Here is an extensive buying guide that’ll help you with your next gold purchase.

Gold Purity

Purity of gold is one of the most important factors to be considered before gold shopping and is defined in terms of “Carats”, with 24K being the purest form. However, 24K gold is present in a malleable liquid form and needs to be mixed with other metals for sturdiness. For instance, 22k gold is a mix of 22 parts of gold, i.e. 91.6% and 2 parts of other metal alloys. The greater the level of purity, the more expensive gold is.

Gold Type

Physical gold can be bought in many forms- coins, bars, jewellery.

Gold Coins:

Some of the collectable gold coins have a higher market value than other forms of gold. However, authenticity needs to be checked carefully before this purchase.

Gold Bar:

Gold Jewellery:

This is the most popular form and has a cultural significance too. However, the meltdown value is usually not as high as the original price.

Genuine Gold Certification

Gold Cost per gram

The price of gold keeps fluctuating depending upon the current market situation. Make sure that you keep a regular check on the gold prices from credible websites.

Although it’s not possible to accurately predict a surge or downfall in the prices of gold, you can keep in touch with jewellers for estimation. Also, make sure to get the gold weighed separately if you are planning to get it studded with other precious stones, to ensure accuracy in prices.

Buy Back Terms

“Making charges” refer to the cost of producing and designing any piece of gold jewellery. It is added to the final cost of the jewellery, before levying the Goods and Services Tax (GST).

While some jewellers have a fixed making charge that usually fluctuates between 8-16%, others may charge it based on a certain percentage of the total jewellery weight. These charges vary depending upon the design and whether the piece is man-made or machine-made.
