Factors affecting gold prices

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

Global markets are tracking 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 factors that may be reflected in price movements in the local market.

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 workmanship and design.
