KKN Gurugram Desk | In a surprising shift for investors and buyers, gold prices recorded a significant drop on Monday, 9 June 2025. The price of gold fell by more than ₹1600 per 10 grams, bringing some relief to those planning to invest or purchase gold jewellery.

Despite the drop, gold continues to trade at high levels, with 24-carat gold hovering around ₹97,900, while 22-carat gold is being sold above ₹89,700 in most Indian cities, including Delhi, Mumbai, Jaipur, and Kolkata.

 What Caused the Drop in Gold Prices Today?

Market experts attribute this decline in gold prices to several potential factors:

• Global market correction after gold touched record highs in May

• Strengthening of the Indian Rupee against the US Dollar

• Profit booking by institutional investors

• Reduced demand in domestic bullion markets

Although gold has dipped today, analysts caution that volatility could continue as global geopolitical tensions, interest rate policies, and inflation data impact market trends.

 Price Comparison: Today vs Last Week

On comparing today’s prices with those from last week, it’s evident that the market has seen a noticeable correction. Here’s how the numbers stack up:

Silver Price Update – 9 June 2025

While gold prices declined, silver remained relatively stable with minor fluctuations.

• Silver price today: ₹1,270 per 10g (national average)

• Silver in Delhi/Mumbai: ₹1,280 per 10g

Silver continues to be driven by industrial demand as well as retail investment, especially during wedding seasons.

Market Reactions and Expert Insights

 Gold Traders’ Perspective:

Bullion traders in Delhi and Mumbai confirm that footfall in jewellery stores has increased after the dip in prices. Retail buyers, especially those planning weddings or long-term investments, are viewing this dip as a buying opportunity.

“Any drop under ₹98,000 for 24K gold is seen as a good entry point for bulk buyers and investors,” said a  Investment Advisory View:

Financial advisors recommend caution. While today’s fall looks attractive, investors should assess long-term demand, international spot prices, and inflation indicators before making large purchases.

 Factors That Influence Daily Gold Prices in India

The price of gold in India is influenced by a combination of global and domestic factors:

• International gold prices (COMEX, LBMA)

• Dollar to Rupee exchange rate

• Inflation and interest rate policies

• Import duties and GST

• Seasonal demand (weddings, festivals)

With the wedding season still active in some regions, demand remains resilient despite the recent dip.

 Should You Buy Gold Now?

If you’ve been waiting for gold prices to cool down, today might be your window. With a ₹1600+ drop, this is one of the biggest single-day falls in recent months.

However, financial experts advise:

• Diversify investment (don’t put all money in gold)

• Choose digital gold, sovereign gold bonds, or ETFs for investment purposes

• For jewellery buyers, ensure hallmarked gold and proper billing

 Gold Price Trends So Far in 2025

Gold has seen a volatile 2025, driven by macroeconomic uncertainties. Here’s a summary of the yearly trend:

• January 2025: ₹92,000 (24K)

• April 2025 (Peak): ₹99,800+

• May 2025: Prices stable around ₹98,000

• June 9, 2025: Drops to ₹97,900–₹98,110

Experts predict that gold may test ₹1,00,000 per 10g later in the year if inflation concerns and geopolitical instability rise.

 Tips for Buying Gold in India Today
