Gold prices have remained firm as investors continue to favour safe-haven assets amid rising geopolitical and economic uncertainties. Escalating tensions in the Middle East, higher crude oil prices and persistent inflationary pressures across major economies have strengthened global demand for bullion.

In India, festive-season buying has further boosted demand for gold jewellery and investment products. At the same time, uncertainty in global financial markets has encouraged investors to increase their exposure to precious metals, supporting the recent rally in gold prices. The combination of robust domestic demand and strong international market sentiment has pushed bullion prices to fresh monthly highs.

With global uncertainties showing little sign of easing and festive demand expected to remain strong in the coming weeks, market participants will continue to closely monitor both international developments and domestic buying trends for further direction in gold prices.
