Gold has just crossed a major psychological and financial threshold ₹1 lakh per 10 grams in the physical market. Yes, you read that right. The yellow metal, once available for ₹70,000 just months ago, has now soared past the ₹1,00,000 mark in major cities across India.
If you're asking, “Will gold ever be this affordable again?” you’re not alone.
What’s Causing This Massive Spike?
Global Uncertainty is Driving Safe-Haven Buying
From the ongoing Middle East tensions to whispers of a global slowdown, investors are running to gold as a hedge. When the world trembles, gold glitters.
Rupee Weakening Against the Dollar
As the INR slides against the USD, importing gold becomes more expensive, directly impacting retail prices. The result? A surge in price tags across jewelers' shelves.
Central Banks Are Stocking Up
India isn’t the only one countries across the globe are stacking gold in their reserves, pushing demand through the roof.
Akshaya Tritiya, Weddings & Emotional Buying
In India, gold is more than an asset it’s tradition. And as demand peaks during festive and wedding seasons, prices naturally follow.
From ₹70K to ₹1 Lakh: A Flashback You’ll Regret
Rewind to early 2023–24, and gold was comfortably sitting around ₹55K–₹70K. Many waited, thinking prices would dip. Today, those same buyers are now watching prices with disbelief.
Will Gold Ever Return to ₹70,000?
Unlikely. Unless there’s a significant drop in global demand, stronger rupee, or economic stabilization gold under ₹80,000 may become a thing of the past.
But as always, markets are unpredictable and what seems impossible today can become a reality tomorrow. Still, experts believe this rally has fundamental backing, not just hype.
You're still waiting for gold to fall you might be waiting forever. This surge isn’t just numbers, it's a shift in economic reality. The ₹70K days might already be history but the future of gold is still glittering.
