Gold prices have taken an exciting turn, swimming into uncharted waters as they hit the ₹80,000 mark for the first time in history! On October 23, 2024, Delhi saw 10 grams of 24-carat gold being sold for a staggering ₹79,823, while silver glittered at ₹104,200 for a kilo. The hype isn’t just local; a significant factor driving this golden surge is the push from BRICS nations towards de-dollarisation, which has evidently sent demand for precious metals skyrocketing. Prepare your wallets folks, this is the new gold rush!

Adding fuel to the fire, Kolkata’s gold prices have graced the ₹81,000 per 10 grams milestone, marking a jaw-dropping increase of ₹4,000 in just six days! As the festival of Dhanteras approaches, the thrill of purchasing gold reaches its peak, and many are scurrying to snag the yellow metal, transforming the competitive jewelry market into a glitzy battlefield. Who wouldn’t want to flaunt their new jewelry while scoring major brownie points with the in-laws during Diwali this year?

The forecast suggests that the gold demand is set to skyrocket this Diwali, with weddings and festivities acting as potent catalysts pushing people to indulge in gold purchases, despite its iridescent price tags. Even with gold priced at around ₹79,000 per 10 grams, buyers are still optimistic, equating their purchases with tradition, wealth, and good fortune. This blend of sentimentality and strategy may keep the prices soaring well into the festive season.

What’s truly fascinating is that gold has always played a major role in Indian culture—symbolizing prosperity and divinity. Did you know that India is the second largest consumer of gold in the world? It’s not just jewelry; gold finds its way into everything from wedding ceremonies to traditional rituals. With the continuous rise in prices, it appears that even gold bricks have become a hot commodity for those looking to bolster their financial security. So, whether you’re a shopaholic or a cautious investor, let this Diwali shine bright with the gleam of gold!
