Market Indicators:
According to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the value of the RBI’s gold reserve increased substantially to ₹ 4.31 lakh crore as of March 31, 2025, reflecting a 57.12% increase. The main influence on the increase in the RBI’s gold reserve is the addition of 54.13 metric tonnes of gold by the RBI to its reserves and the surge in international gold prices. Despite recent declines in gold prices, demand for gold jewelry in India remains extremely strong.
Investment Outlook for Investors:
According to analysts, the current gold price pullback is a good buying opportunity for investors. It is also important to watch the upcoming Q1 GDP numbers and core PCE price index. These numbers may signal a potential shift in interest rates by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) and impact gold price movements.
