Gold Prices Rise Before Akshaya Tritiya 2025: Check Latest Rates Here

Gold prices in India rose today after falling for 4 days in a row. The rise comes as demand increases before Akshaya Tritiya 2025, a big Hindu festival. Many people believe that buying gold and silver on this day brings good luck and prosperity.

Earlier, falling gold prices gave some relief to buyers. But with today’s price rise, buying gold has become expensive again.

Global Gold Prices Fall

Interestingly, while gold prices rose in India, global gold prices dropped. Spot gold slipped by 0.8% to US$3,314.99 an ounce. U.S. gold futures also fell by 0.7% to US$3,325.10 an ounce. The fall happened because the U.S. Dollar became stronger and tensions between the U.S. and China cooled down, reducing the demand for gold worldwide.
