Who Decides the Gold Rates in Delhi?

The IBJA (The Indian Bullion Jewellers Association) plays a vital role in determining the daily gold rates in Delhi. IBJA consists of the country's most prominent gold dealers. They account for the lion’s share of gold that is sold and bought in the country and hence, has the power to determine the gold price across the country.

Banks are the largest importers of gold in the country. However, they add a fee to the imported gold before selling it to a supplier, increasing the purchase price at the source. By the time it reaches you, the price you pay for gold includes various charges. For instance, when you buy gold jewellery, you may also need to pay a making price.

Gold vs. FD

Both gold and fixed deposits are popular investment instruments. However, both share some differences, too. To begin with, returns from FD are guaranteed and fixed. Market fluctuations or economic conditions don’t affect your interest income.

On the other hand, gold rates can fluctuate. This is because gold rates get decided daily. They could go up or down based on economic conditions. But per historical trends, gold rates have always gone up in the longer term.

How is the Purity of Gold Evaluated in Delhi?

Gold is valuable only when it is pure. There are instances where customers are duped with impure gold. Hence, confirming the purity of gold is crucial.

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is a government authority that certifies the purity of gold. According to BIS, the following factors are to be kept in mind when buying gold.

  1. BIS Mark

    Jewellery hallmarked by BIS will have a BIS logo on it. Remember that since BIS is the only authorized laboratory in India for gold certification.

  2. Karat

    Karat is a scale to gauge gold's purity. While 24 karat gold is the purest, it is too soft for use. Hence, other metals are added and the gold available in the market is often 22 Karat.

  3. Jewellers Identification Mark

    The gold you buy should also carry an identification mark by an authorized jeweller. This helps ensure the gold is from a credible source. The mark can also be helpful in the case of disputes.

Factors That Impact Gold Prices in Delhi

Supply and Demand

Gold is a natural resource mined from the earth's reserves. Hence, gold prices in Delhi largely depend on the supply. If there is a lesser supply of gold, gold prices may decrease.

On the other hand, the demand for gold increases during festivals or when the people of Delhi buy gold to hedge against a bearish market. In such times, the higher demand causes gold prices in Delhi to rise.

Import Rates

Once upon a time, India had adequate gold reserves. But the situation has changed now; Most of the gold we buy today is imported in its natural form. Hence, import rates are a vital factor in determining gold prices in Delhi. Higher import rates could mean a higher gold price and vice-versa.

U.S Dollar

Gold is an internationally traded commodity. Most countries, including India, buy gold in the U.S. currency. This means the value of the U.S. dollar has a direct or indirect impact on gold prices. In India, the relation could be inversely proportional; when the dollar is weak, India could buy gold at a lower price. Hence, the strength of U.S dollars also affects gold prices in Delhi.

International Relations

When the relationship between two countries is affected, it could halt or negatively impact the smoother import and export of gold. This, in turn, may spike the gold rates.

Indian jewellery market

We need to understand the relationship between gold prices and the Indian jewellery market, owing to Indian cultural beliefs. In India, gold plays a crucial role in household life, especially during the festive season and wedding season. As a result of the higher demand for gold during the festive season, gold prices go up as a result. According to a report released in 2019 by the World Gold Council (WGC), Indian households own around 25,000 tonnes of gold, which makes them the world's largest gold collectors.

FAQs of 18K Gold Rate in Delhi

Are 22 Karat and 24 Karat gold rates different in Delhi?

DownArrow

Yes, 24 Karat is gold in its purest form. But it is too soft for use. Hence, metals like zinc are added to strengthen it. The gold thus created is the 22 Karat variant. While 24 Karat is 99.9% pure, 22 Karat typically consists of around 91% pure gold. As a result, 24 Karat gold costs more than 22 Karat gold.
