India Gold price today: Gold steadies, according to FXStreet data
Gold prices remained broadly unchanged in India on Wednesday, according to data compiled by FXStreet.
On Wednesday, gold prices in India remained stable, according to FXStreet data. The price for gold was 12,905.95 Indian Rupees (INR) per gram, which was comparable to Tuesday's price of INR 12,904.41 per gram. The gold price per tola stood at INR 150,533.20, close to the previous day's rate of INR 150,514.50 per tola. FXStreet calculates India's gold prices by converting international prices (USD/INR) to local currency and units, updating them daily based on market rates at publication time.
Gold has historically been used as a store of value and medium of exchange, and it is seen as a safe-haven asset in turbulent times. Central banks are the largest holders of gold, often increasing their reserves during economic uncertainty to stabilize their currencies. In 2022, central banks from emerging economies like China, India, and Turkey added 1,136 tonnes of gold worth around $70 billion to their reserves, the highest annual purchase since records began.
Gold has an inverse correlation with the US Dollar and US Treasuries, and a weaker dollar typically leads to higher gold prices. The precious metal's price can also fluctuate due to geopolitical factors, interest rates, and overall investor sentiment. Currently, gold is consolidating its recent rebound from an eight-week low, trading below $4,200 as investors anticipate upcoming economic data releases.
