  "account": "In India, gold prices dropped on Monday, according to data from FXStreet. The price of gold was INR 13,546.67 per gram, a decline from INR 13,671.07 on Friday. Additionally, the price fell to INR 157,995.90 per tola, down from INR 159,456.70 per tola the previous day. FXStreet determines Indian gold prices by converting international rates (USD/INR) to the local currency and units of measurement. Prices are evaluated daily using current market rates at the time of release, though local rates may differ slightly. Gold has been used throughout history as a store of value and medium of exchange. Today, gold is considered a safe-haven asset, an excellent investment during uncertain times due to its stability. It also serves as a hedge against inflation and weaker currencies since its value isn't tied to any specific issuer or government. Central banks, the largest gold holders, increase their gold reserves during economic turbulence to strengthen their currencies' perceived strength. In 2022, central banks added 1,136 tonnes of gold, valued at around $70 billion, to their reserves, their largest yearly purchase on record.",
