Key drivers behind the surge in precious metals
US federal reserve policy: Anticipation surrounding interest rate trajectories and global monetary policy continues to directly influence investor appetite for non-yielding assets like gold and silver.
Geopolitical volatility: Ongoing international conflicts and geopolitical risks drive sustained safe-haven capital inflows into precious metals.
Central bank accumulation: Persistent reserves buying by global central banks provides underlying support to international spot gold valuations.
US dollar fluctuations: Movements in the US dollar index impact international bullion pricing, which directly filters down to Indian physical retail markets.
