Market analysts have linked the fall in gold prices to a combination of global factors, including reduced demand, shifts in interest rates, and investor hesitation due to economic uncertainty. These factors have made the precious metals market more volatile in recent weeks.
In the international market, gold prices declined by $15 per ounce, with the new rate standing at $3,335 per ounce. The global drop has had a direct influence on local bullion pricing, especially in markets sensitive to international trends.
