Gold prices remained largely stable in India on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, even as global markets continued to see volatility amid economic uncertainty. The yellow metal continues to hold its appeal as a safe-haven investment, driven by persistent concerns over inflation, fluctuating bond yields, and geopolitical tensions.
India, the world’s second-largest gold consumer after China, relies heavily on imports to meet domestic demand. As gold is traded globally in US dollars, the rupee-dollar exchange rate plays a key role in determining local prices. Additionally, import duties, GST, and state taxes also contribute to variations in rates across cities.
