CHENNAI: The price of 22-carat gold in Chennai, which has been oscillating lately, dropped by Rs 1,200 per sovereign on Tuesday (Oct 28). A sovereign (8 grams) now costs Rs 90,400, with the per-gram rate falling by Rs 150 to Rs 11,300.
On October 27, a sovereign of gold had reduced by Rs 400 to Rs 91,600 (per-gram rate: Rs 11,450).
On October 17, a sovereign had cost Rs 97,600 (gram: Rs 12,200), the highest it has recorded this year, only to fall later.
Gold has seen a record rally this year as traders turned to the safe-haven asset amid geopolitical and economic uncertainty, driven by the ongoing US shutdown and the global trade war President Donald Trump unleashed, including on India.
Gold prices have recorded a massive surge from Rs 57,200 per sovereign (Rs 7,150 per gram) at the start of the year to Rs 90,400 today (October 28), a growth of Rs 33,200, or roughly 58%.
However, after a straight breakneck climb, the yellow metal has been on an on and off decline since the past week. Commenting on this decrease, S Santha Kumar, secretary, The Jewellers and Diamond Traders Association – Madras, had attributed it to the inflation prevailing in the US economy, saying it has nothing to do with any domestic reasons.
However, Santha Kumar had also predicted that gold is likely to go up again by next week. “It is expected to cross Rs 1 lakh per sovereign by November."
On the other hand, silver, which climbed a record Rs 200/gram this month, is now on a downward spiral. A gram of silver costs Rs 165 on October 28, marking a Rs 5 drop from the previous rate of Rs 170.
A gram of silver was priced at Rs 98 on January 1, and today it trades at Rs 165, marking a rise of Rs 67, or 68.3%.
