Why Are Gold Prices Rising? The Reasons Behind the Surge.
Gold has always been the mirror of wealth and security but the present rally is caused by something more than just tradition. These are the major reasons causing the increase in gold prices.
- Investor Confidence in Gold: An investor pulls into gold during economic uncertainty. This has been the case with both bull and bear markets where there is some volatility in the global market since gold has been the way to invest for many.
- Global Political Uncertainty: Geopolitics and economic instability make people invest in gold, increasing demand and prices.
- Rupee-Dollar Exchange Rate: A change in the rupee against the dollar affects the gold price in India since gold is traded internationally in dollars.
- Cultural and Seasonal Demand: In India, Gold is a very deep and traditional asset with a specific kind of festival. The surge in the demand of gold comes during weddings and festivals only.

On March 8, in 2025, gold prices in India experienced a minor dip and fell below ₹89,000 for 10 grams.
