The eastern metropolis of Kolkata offers 24K gold at Rs. 7,320.3 per 10 grams. In the southern region, Chennai quotes Rs. 7,320.2 per 10 grams, while Lucknow in the north sees rates at Rs. 7,320.5 per 10 grams.

This modest decline in gold prices comes amid a complex interplay of global and domestic factors. Market analysts attribute the dip to a strengthening US dollar and positive economic data from major economies, which typically dampen the appeal of gold as a safe-haven asset.

For Indian consumers, particularly those eyeing purchases for the upcoming festive and wedding seasons, this price correction might present an attractive buying opportunity. Jewelers across the country are cautiously optimistic that the lower prices could stimulate demand, which had been somewhat subdued in recent weeks due to higher rates.

Note: The retail gold prices are derived from benchmark rates in major bullion markets, with factors like local taxes, making charges, and premiums by jewellers influencing the prices across different cities.

Industry experts suggest tracking retail rates closely, as gold prices often fluctuate based on global cues, currency movements, and demand-supply dynamics in the domestic market.
