Gold Falls ₹900 as Strong Dollar Weighs on Bullion
Gold became cheaper in Delhi on Wednesday.
Its price dropped by ₹900 for every 10 grams.
Silver prices in India did not change.
A stronger United States dollar made gold less attractive to some investors.
Some traders also sold gold to lock in profits after its earlier rise.
Expectations of higher interest rates added more pressure to gold prices.
Gold is still much more expensive than it was a year ago.
Because of this, some Indian buyers are choosing lighter jewellery.
Others are buying coins, digital gold, or exchange-traded funds instead.
Gold prices in Delhi fell ₹900 to ₹1.54 lakh per 10 grams on Wednesday, extending their decline to three sessions.
Silver remained unchanged at ₹2.42 lakh per kilogram, inclusive of taxes, according to local traders.
The stronger United States dollar, profit-taking, and expectations of tighter monetary policy pressured bullion prices.
Spot gold declined 1% to $4,317.09 per ounce, while global silver prices fell nearly 3% to $65.17 per ounce.
High domestic prices are prompting consumers to buy lighter jewellery and shift investments toward coins, digital gold, and ETFs.
