Why it matters
The decline in gold prices is linked to pressures in the international gold market caused by US inflation levels and the possibility of interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve. This international trend affects gold market pricing in Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai.
Gold prices in major Indian cities are being influenced by expectations regarding the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike policy.
