Hard to resist is the lure of gold. Whether as an embellishment to show off or quietly tuck away as investment, the precious metal happens to be the choice of most.
On Saturday, the price of 24-carat gold climbed to an unprecedented Rs 79,420 per 10 grams, and 22-carat gold followed closely at Rs 72,800 per 10 grams.
In the past four months, the prices of yellow metal have been volatile, reaching as high as Rs 75,000 and dropping to as low as Rs 72,000. The current upward trend suggests that prices may soon hit Rs 78,000.
