Gold prices in India remained firm on Thursday, July 2, with 24-karat gold (99.9% purity) priced at ₹14,455 per gram, while 22-karat gold (91.6% purity) was selling at ₹13,250 per gram. The price of 18-karat gold (75% purity) stood at ₹10,841 per gram.

The yellow metal continues to trade near record levels, reflecting sustained demand amid global economic uncertainty. Gold remains a preferred investment for many Indians, serving as a traditional hedge against inflation and market volatility.

Analysts say domestic gold prices continue to be influenced by international bullion rates, the rupee's movement against the US dollar, central bank policies, and geopolitical developments. Buyers are also keeping a close watch on price movements ahead of the upcoming festive and wedding season, when demand for gold typically rises.
