Patna: Gold prices in Patna plunged on Thursday, following national trends driven by global economic conditions, such as relaxing trade tensions and coming U.S. payroll data, which have reduced investor appetite for the precious metal.

  • 24K Gold: Rs 9,578 per gram (down Rs 218)
  • 22K Gold: Rs 8,780 per gram (down Rs 200)
  • 18K Gold: Rs 7,184 per gram (down Rs 164)

This downward trend in gold prices is attributed to easing global trade tensions and anticipation surrounding upcoming U.S. payroll data, which have collectively impacted investor sentiment and reduced demand for safe-haven assets like gold.

Patna, the capital of Bihar, holds significant cultural and economic importance in India’s gold market, especially during festivals and wedding seasons when demand typically surges. The recent price drop presents an opportune moment for consumers and investors in the region to consider purchasing gold.

Potential investors are requested to keep themselves updated with current gold prices and get in touch with local jewellers to confirm pricing, as some extra fees like GST and making charges might be involved. Tracking these variations will help in taking timely and value-for-money investment decisions.
