Indian Gold Prices Plummet Amid Rising Tensions Between US and Iran
Gold and silver prices in India declined on July 31 due to ongoing tensions between the US and Iran. The price of gold, in particular, fell as a result of the dollar index rising about 0.40%, making gold more expensive for buyers using overseas currencies.
The decline was also attributed to oil prices falling after Saudi Arabia proposed a naval coalition to protect key trade routes from Iranian attacks.
According to MCX data, gold rate on July 31 was trading at ₹144,010 per 10 grams, down 0.05% from the previous day's closing price.
