Gold prices have been volatile, fluctuating between high retail prices and significant drops. ICICI Bank forecasts continued instability, predicting gold prices to range between $3,050 and $3,250 per ounce in the second quarter of 2025. Despite a 25% price increase earlier this year, recent declines have been noted due to easing trade concerns. The World Gold Council reported a 170% surge in investment demand amid policy uncertainties, though recent market stabilization has eased pressures on gold's rally.

Gold prices have reached a record high due to global uncertainties, including conflicts in the Middle East and the upcoming US election. Despite the US dollar also being strong, gold is considered a safe-haven asset and has attracted buying flows as investors seek security. This year, gold has gained over 33% and continues to scale new records amid loose monetary policies. In addition to gold, silver and platinum prices have been affected, while the Federal Reserve's rate cuts are expected to continue but at a slower pace.

To counteract this, jewellery makers are offering lower making charges and focusing on lightweight pieces. Companies like Titan and Kalyan Jewellers are also increasing their gold buyback schemes and expanding their range of budget-friendly jewellery options.

The price of gold has increased by 41% in the past year, reaching Rs 49,240 for 10 grams in the spot market. Rising gold prices have attracted investor attention, especially during uncertain times when other assets decline. The uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, global economic slowdown, geopolitical risks, and increased liquidity in the global economy have all contributed to the rise in gold prices. Investors globally, including in India, are investing in gold, with record-high holdings in gold-backed exchange-traded funds (ETFs). However, experts advise caution and moderation in expectations, using gold as a hedge rather than solely for returns.

A decline in crude prices is beneficial for oil marketing companies (OMCs) as it reduces their input costs, allowing them to generate higher margins. As crude prices hit lows, foreign brokerage Investec predicts that OMCs could see record profits due to high marketing margins. However, potential government intervention to lower fuel prices ahead of the Maharashtra state election may impact these profits. The fall in crude prices also negatively affects oil drilling stocks like ONGC and Oil India as it squeezes their profit margins. Brent crude prices fell to their lowest levels in almost nine months due to concerns of a demand slowdown in China.

Gold prices surged close to record highs following Israel's military strike on Iran, targeting military and nuclear sites. This escalation led to strong demand for gold as a safe-haven asset, with spot gold reaching $3,417.10 per ounce and futures at $3,436.90. The conflict, coupled with weaker-than-expected U.S. inflation data, has prompted investors to gravitate towards gold, expecting potential Federal Reserve rate cuts and seeking stability amid geopolitical tensions and market uncertainties.
