The price of gold on the international market was static on Wednesday as investors refrained from placing large wagers in anticipation of the US Federal Reserve’s most recent policy meeting minutes, which may provide information on future interest rate increases.
The Fed is anticipated to raise interest rates by 50 basis points, which is expected to put pressure on gold prices. By 0121 GMT, spot gold was unchanged at $1,739.90 per ounce. American gold futures increased by 0.1% to $1,741.60.
State-wise changes in tax rates and other government fees are the reason behind the difference in gold prices across India. The making charges imposed when purchasing gold jewellery also lead to an increase in the pricing of gold.
