Gold prices have been dropping at record highs in India and global bullion markets, as investors prefer safe-haven assets in the midst of the economic uncertainty triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic.
World Gold Council Managing Director (India) Somasundaram PR noted that the gold price topping Rs 50,000-mark is a crucial milestone and the answer is obviously mixed-happy investors and wary consumers. Domestic prices are influenced by the interplay of several global factors — low or negative interest rates, and the instability created by trade disputes and geopolitical tensions.
The price of gold is likely to rise further in the next 12 months after the US elections, Covid-19 related disturbances and geopolitical tensions, jewelry company PN Gadgil managing director, and CEO Saurabh Gadgil said.
“We expect gold to reach about Rs 65,000 per 10 grams in the domestic market in the next 12 months, while it will reach $2,500 an ounce in international markets,” he said.
The jewelry industry expects the market demand for gold to decline further in the light of rising prices for precious metals and economic slowdown. “The market is still quite sluggish at the moment, with only 20-25% of the industry taking place following the economic downturn, work instability, social distances, and lockdowns due to Covid-19. The high price of gold would add to the already sluggish demand for consumers,” said All India Gem and Jewellery Domestic Council Chairman Anantha Padmanabhan.
