Factors affecting gold prices

Gold prices in the local market are influenced by several factors, chiefly movements in the ounce on global markets, the pound's exchange rate against the dollar, and supply and demand in the local market, as well as developments in global interest rates and investment demand for the precious metal.

Global markets track gold's movements in light of economic and monetary developments and interest-rate expectations, as well as shifts in demand for the yellow metal as a safe-haven investment, all of which can feed through to prices in the local market.

Note that the prices listed are for raw gold and do not include workmanship (making charges) or hallmarking fees. Final prices for gold jewellery vary from one jeweller to another depending on the workmanship charge and design.
