CHENNAI: Gold continues to surge in the city on December 25. The yellow metal surges by Rs 160 to be priced at Rs 1,02,560 per sovereign (8 grams) and Rs 12,820 per gram, a rise of Rs 20. This marks the highest level this year.
On December 24, gold was priced at Rs 1,02,400 per sovereign and Rs 12,800 per gram, a rise of Rs 200.
The current gold rally comes after the US Federal Reserve delivered a much-anticipated rate cut and signalled further easing next year, weakening the dollar, and boosting global safe-haven demand, while a record-low rupee supported domestic prices.
From January 1, when gold stood at Rs 57,200 per sovereign (Rs 7,150 per gram), it has now climbed to Rs 1,02,560 per sovereign on December 25, a whopping increase of Rs 45,360, or about 79.3%.
Meanwhile, silver increased by Re 1 to sell for a record Rs 245 per gram (Rs 2,45,000 per kg) on December 25.
