Another factor playing in favour of the gold trade here is the bustling trade and industrial network here. The entire city is dotted with traders of all sorts, and gold dealers are no exception.
Thus, market fluctuations play a major role in determining gold prices here. Inflation, interest rate trends, state taxes, octroi, and making charges are some other factors. International market factors such as crude oil prices, rupee-dollar trends, and strength of international currencies, also play an important role in the same.
Given the prevalence of agriculture in the city, a good monsoon also harbours gigantic gold demands from the rural sections. It goes without saying that gold jewellery tops the choice of locals for gold investment. It is evident in the shooting demands for the gold ornaments during the wedding seasons, festivals, and other auspicious occasions.
However, the city is fast catching up with the trend of investing in digital and electronic gold. Exchange Trade Funds (ETFs), sovereign gold bonds, gold mutual funds, and gold futures are some of the popular choices.
