How Currency Fluctuations Impact Gold Buying Prices
In India, the price of gold is intricately linked to global market trends and the value of the Indian Rupee (INR) against the US Dollar (USD). Since India imports most of its gold, any fluctuations in the currency exchange rate can significantly impact the prices buyers and sellers experience.
Globally, gold is traded in US Dollars. When the INR weakens against the USD, importing gold becomes more expensive. This results in higher gold prices domestically. Conversely, when the INR strengthens, gold becomes relatively cheaper.
