On Monday, October 13, 2020, gold and
silver became expensive in the domestic market due to the depreciation of the
rupee against the dollar. Gold had risen by Rs 240 to Rs 52,073 per 10 grams
and silver had gained Rs 786, after which it had risen to Rs 64,927 per kg. In
the international commodity market, gold was trading at $ 1,925 a per ounce, while
silver was at $ 25.26 a per ounce.
In the Indian market, gold prices have
risen by 29 per cent this year in line with global levels. Analysts expect the
fall in the price of gold based on the appreciation in the US dollar and
general market risk perception. Analysts expect the demand for gold in India to
increase in the coming festive season. Gold is always affected by widespread
stimulus measures as it is widely seen as a hedge against inflation and
currency depreciation.
