However, 24-carat gold is very soft and malleable, and therefore not suitable for daily wear jewelry.

Exchange rates: The value of the Indian rupee relative to other currencies, particularly the US dollar, plays a role. Supply and demand: When demand for gold outstrips supply, prices tend to rise.
