Reasons Behind the Rising Gold Prices
The rise in gold prices is primarily attributed to both domestic and international factors. The strengthening of the US dollar in the global market, potential changes in interest rates, inflation, and central bank policies are influencing gold prices. Furthermore, the increasing trend of investors towards gold is also driving prices upward.
What is Hallmarking and Why is it Important?
Always check for hallmarking when buying gold. 22-karat gold has a 916 hallmark, 24-karat has 999, 18-karat has 750, and 14-karat has 585. This hallmark guarantees quality and ensures the purity of the gold. Sometimes, gold with lower purity is sold as 22-karat; therefore, pay special attention to hallmarking when purchasing gold.
