Market trend

Gold prices have maintained an upward bias this week, supported by firm global trends and steady jewellery demand. In contrast, silver is trading in a narrow range, balancing industrial demand with market volatility.

Analysts note that bullion prices in the near term will be influenced by global economic signals, currency movements and central bank policy outlooks.

What buyers should know

  • 24K gold is ideal for investment due to high purity

  • 22K gold is widely used for jewellery

  • 18K gold is preferred for diamond-studded ornaments

  • Silver remains popular for both investment and utility purchases

With prices holding firm, jewellers expect a pickup in buying activity across key markets, particularly in southern cities such as Chennai and Hyderabad, in the run-up to the festive season.
