Bhubaneshwar, Mar 30: Keeping an upward trend, Gold prices rose further, touching the 91,000-mark and, thus, reflecting global economic volatility and geopolitical tensions.

The current price of 24-karat gold in Bhubaneshwar stands at ₹91,200 per 10 grams, while 22-karat gold is priced at ₹83,600 per 10 grams. Consumers are finding it increasingly difficult to buy gold, with many now rethinking their purchasing decisions.

Gold prices have surged across the Indian market, aligning with the global trends. For example, the price of 24-karat gold nationally has also reached ₹91,200 per 10 grams, and 22-karat gold costs ₹83,600.

The rise in gold prices is especially challenging for those preparing for weddings or festivals where gold jewelry traditionally plays a central role. For some, gifting gold is now a strain on their budget. "With prices this high, gold is no longer affordable for many families," expressed a local consumer.

Experts attribute the consistent rise in gold prices to economic uncertainties, heightened inflation, and demand fluctuations. Analysts suggest consumers consult financial advisors before making significant gold investments. While gold remains a safe and attractive option for preserving wealth, careful planning is necessary to cope with the rising costs.
