Patna : Gold prices in Bihar slipped slightly on Monday, hinting at a cooling trend — but for wary investors and eager buyers, the big question looms: is this just the calm before another surge?
Latest figures show 24-karat gold at Rs90,416 per 10 grams and 22-karat at Rs82,886, a mild dip of 0.3% from the previous session. Though the drop seems minor, seasoned traders suggest it could be a signal of shifting tides in global bullion markets.
Experts cite a mix of global headwinds — from economic uncertainty to fluctuating demand — as the forces nudging prices downward. Yet in Bihar, where gold is tradition as much as investment, the movement has stirred interest. Patna’s jewellery markets saw a flicker of renewed activity over the weekend.
“Whenever prices soften, even slightly, buyers start sniffing opportunity,” said Rajeev Sinha, a long-time trader from Boring Road. “But we’ve seen how quickly things can swing back.”
