Gold prices on November 25: Gold prices have surged around Rs 80,000 per 10 grams in major Indian cities, recovering from the pressures of Donald Trump's anticipated high tariff trade policies and a strong US dollar, according to analysts. On November 25, gold prices in India remained strong, with 24-carat gold, known for its exceptional purity, priced at Rs 79,630 per 10 grams. Meanwhile, 22-carat gold, often used in jewellery for its durability, was available at Rs 72,990 per 10 grams.
The prevailing uncertainty surrounding the US economy and volatile stock markets have also driven increased inflows into gold, viewed as a safe-haven asset. However, analysts caution that the US Federal Reserve's cautious stance on interest rates and the strong US dollar are presenting challenges for the bullion market. In spot markets, the precious metal of 99.9 per cent purity surged Rs 1,100 to hit a two-week high of Rs 80,400 per 10 grams, while the price of gold of 99.5 per cent purity soared Rs 1,100, to reclaim the Rs 80,000 mark again on Friday.
The ongoing wedding season in India is also pushing gold buying interest by jewellers and retailers, analysts said. "Wedding season is pivotal for our business, with bridal or wedding jewellery constituting a significant share of our sales. During the ongoing wedding season this year, we are witnessing healthy demand for bridal jewellery across all our stores in India," M P Ahammed, Chairman at Malabar Group, said, as per news agency PTI.
