Silver Prices Also Decline

Alongside gold, silver prices slipped by ₹100 per kilogram, with the metal now trading around ₹1,39,900 per kg. The decline in both gold and silver is largely attributed to international factors, though investor sentiment within India remains firm due to festive season demand.

Why Are Gold Prices Falling?

Even though gold is trading close to its peak, today’s decline comes amid a mix of domestic and international developments. Global investors are closely watching the U.S. Federal Reserve, which recently cut interest rates by 0.25% and hinted at more reductions later this year. Lower interest rates generally weaken the U.S. dollar and bond yields, making gold and silver more attractive as safe-haven assets.

Additionally, large investors and central banks have continued to purchase gold in significant volumes, while inflows into gold-backed Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) remain strong. These factors are helping gold sustain its position near record levels, even as daily fluctuations occur.

Outlook for Gold Investors

Experts believe that gold prices may remain volatile in the short term, depending on inflation trends, interest rate decisions, and geopolitical conditions. However, the long-term outlook stays positive due to continued demand from central banks and global investors.

For retail buyers, especially during festive occasions like Navratri, today’s slight dip could be an opportunity to purchase gold at relatively lower prices. Still, financial advisors suggest maintaining a balanced portfolio rather than going overboard with gold investments.

Bottom Line: On the fourth day of Navratri, gold became cheaper by up to ₹600 per 10 grams across several Indian cities, while silver also witnessed a minor fall. Despite today’s dip, gold remains close to its peak, driven by global uncertainties, central bank demand, and investor interest in safe-haven assets.
