On April 6, gold prices in India experienced a significant decline, with 24-carat gold priced at ₹1,36,700 per 10 grams in Mumbai and 22-carat gold at ₹1,11,850. This drop reflects a more than 14% decrease in April, the steepest since October 2008, largely due to a stronger US dollar driven by geopolitical tensions, particularly the ongoing US-Iran negotiations for a potential 45-day ceasefire. Silver prices also fell, with spot rates at ₹2,31,233 per kg. The fluctuations in gold prices are influenced by various factors, including international market rates, import duties, and exchange rate variations.
