Gold prices in India remained unchanged on February 7, compared to the previous day. As of Friday, the price of 24-carat gold stood at Rs 8,651 per gram, while 22-carat gold was priced at Rs 7,930 per gram. These prices reflect a steady market trend following a surge to an all-time high on Wednesday, driven by factors such as a weaker rupee and fluctuations in the dollar index.
The recent rise in gold prices is largely attributed to geopolitical concerns, including fears of potential tariff wars, which have bolstered gold’s status as a safe-haven investment.
