Why gold prices are rising
The surge in gold prices is being driven by escalating global uncertainty, geopolitical developments overseas, and increased volatility across equity and commodity markets. A softer US dollar and strong safe-haven demand have further supported the rally in precious metals.
Market participants will continue to track global cues, central bank signals, and geopolitical developments, which are expected to remain key drivers of gold prices in the near term.
