Reasons for rise in gold rates in Hyderabad, other cities

One of the major reasons for the rise in gold rates is the threat of recession which is being predicted by many experts ever since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022.

However, the sudden spike in gold rates across the world can be attributed to the anticipated US Fed rate hike of 25 basis points (bps) which is less than the 50 bps that was hiked in December.

The slowing down in tightening pace by US Fed will make interest-bearing assets less preferable investment option. It pushes investors to prefer gold.

Due to these global reasons, the gold rates in Hyderabad and other Indian cities are witnessing hikes. The surge in rates resulted in a 25 percent drop in gold jewellery consumption.
