 What’s Driving the Gold Surge in India?

1. Akshaya Tritiya Demand

With Akshaya Tritiya around the corner, jewelry demand is spiking, especially in southern states like Tamil Nadu and Kerala.

2. Global Uncertainty

Continued geopolitical tensions and trade uncertainties have made gold a safe-haven asset once again.

3. Rupee Weakness

A weaker rupee against the dollar also supports domestic gold prices since India imports most of its gold.
