Gold Rate Update: Especially in India, gold is one of the most widely used investment instruments globally. The price of gold varies, just like the price of other financial assets. Numerous other factors also play a part in determining the market price of gold, even though one of the main drivers is the demand for the metal. The value of the currency decreases with inflation.

In India, the price of a gram of 22-karat gold is currently Rs 5,650, and a gram of 24-karat gold is Rs 6,164.
