Introduction:
On 29 June 2025, gold prices in India edged higher by ₹110, bringing the price of 24K gold to ₹72,110 per 10 grams. The increase came amid rising global demand for safe-haven assets, a weakening US dollar, and persistent geopolitical uncertainties. With wedding season shopping still active in several parts of India and rising interest from investors, gold continues to show strength both domestically and globally.
This marks the third day of gold maintaining a stable or upward movement, highlighting investor interest in precious metals as global markets face mixed signals.

What’s Driving Gold Prices Today?
1. Safe-Haven Buying Globally:
Rising concerns over economic growth in Europe and Asia have pushed investors toward gold. With increasing tension in global trade negotiations and market volatility, gold continues to act as a safety net.
2. Weakening US Dollar:
The US dollar index slid slightly, making gold cheaper for holders of other currencies. This increased global demand, pushing gold prices up in international markets, which in turn affected Indian rates.
3. Strong Physical Demand in India:
In India, demand remains consistent due to wedding-related purchases and early festive buying. Traders and jewellers also reported increased footfall in physical stores over the weekend.
4. Speculation Around Central Bank Policies:
Investors are watching upcoming US inflation data closely. Any dovish signal from the Federal Reserve could support further gains in gold.
