Following days of volatility in the international market, the impact is now clearly visible in domestic rates. The strengthening of the US Dollar and a cooling demand for safe-haven assets globally have contributed to this sharp decline in precious metal prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of today, Wednesday, the price for 22-carat gold stands at approximately \u20b914,370 per bhari (11.66 grams). Similarly, 18-carat gold is being quoted at \u20b911,800 per bhari. Silver has also followed the downward trend, with the current price for 1 kg of silver at \u20b92,45,873. It is important to note that an additional 3% GST and applicable making charges will be added to these base prices at the time of purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Financial experts suggest that this price correction offers an excellent window for those looking to make long-term investments in gold. However, they advise caution against making bulk investments at once; instead, a staggered investment approach is recommended to mitigate risks. Buyers are also urged to factor in GST and hallmarking charges while finalizing their purchases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The gold market witnessed a significant downturn on Wednesday, as prices took a sudden plunge, providing much-needed relief to general consumers.
