Experts believe gold prices may remain volatile but on the higher side in the near term. As a traditional safe-haven asset, gold continues to attract investors during uncertain economic conditions.
For buyers, it is advisable to track daily rates and compare prices across different cities and jewellers. Keep in mind that the final jewellery cost includes making charges and GST, which can significantly increase the overall purchase price beyond the base gold rate.
