Do You Know How Are Gold Prices In India Determined?
Let me explain. The gold prices in India are influenced by trading in larger stock markets like the London Over-the-Counter (OTC) spot market and the COMEX gold futures market. If you thought that prices fluctuate due to the demand and supply of physical gold, the answer is ‘NO’!
Indian markets like the Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE) and Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) follow the prices set by the London and New York markets. Additionally, other factors like global events, political issues, central bank decisions, and currency changes can also affect the price of gold.
How To Check The Purity Of Gold
These are a few tips to check the purity of the gold:
