దేశంలో నేటి బంగారం ధరలు (12th January, 2026)

Gold prices are influenced by several factors: Supply and demand: If the demand for gold increases or the supply decreases, the price goes up and vice versa. Central Bank Policies: Central banks hold large reserves of gold, and their buying and selling activities can influence gold prices. Economic Data: Economic indicators such as inflation, interest rates, and currency values impact gold prices. For example, when inflation is high, the demand for gold usually increases as it is seen as a hedge against inflation. Geopolitical Events: Political instability, wars, and other global events can lead to increased demand for gold as a safe-haven asset. Market Speculation: Investor sentiment and speculative trading can also affect gold prices.

BIS hallmarking ensures the authenticity and purity of gold jewelry, providing consumers with confidence in their purchases. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) hallmark is a certification mark that verifies the purity of gold jewellery sold in India. The components of BIS Hallmark includes the BIS Logo, which indicates that the jewellery is BIS certified; Purity/Fineness Grade that denotes the purity of the gold (e.g., 22K916 for 22 carat gold); a unique mark of the BIS-recognised Assaying and Hallmarking Centre that tested the jewellery; a unique identification mark of the jeweller who made the item; and the year of hallmarking represented by a code letter.
