Here are several factors that can exert influence on the price of gold:
Supply and Demand: The price of gold mainly depends on how much people want it and how much is available. If more people want gold, the price usually goes up. But if there’s too much gold available, the price can go down.
Global Economic Conditions: The overall global economy also has a big impact on gold prices. When the world economy is not doing well or there’s a recession, investors often choose gold as a safe option, causing its price to go up.
Political Instability: Political troubles can also affect gold prices. When there’s uncertainty or a crisis in an important country or region, investors might choose to protect their money by investing in gold. This increased demand can make the price of gold go up.
