Why did rates decline now?
Today, gold rates in Hyderabad have declined to Rs 56,250 and Rs 61,360 per 10 grams of 22-carat and 24-carat, respectively.
One of the reasons behind this is investors’ decision to turn back to riskier assets, as there have been no major surprise developments from the Israel-Hamas war.
The drop in yellow metal rates in Hyderabad and other parts of the world can also be attributed to rising bond yields.
The future trends in yellow metal rates are still largely dependent on efforts to de-escalate the Israel-Hamas conflict.
