International factors: US Dollar strength, global gold rates, crude oil prices, geopolitical tensions. Domestic factors: Indian Rupee value, import duties (currently 12.5%), GST (3%), festival demand (Diwali, Akshaya Tritiya), wedding season, monsoon performance affecting rural demand.
Physical gold: Tangible asset, no counterparty risk, making charges apply, storage concerns, purity verification needed. Digital gold: Buy from ₹1, no storage hassles, guaranteed purity, easy liquidity, slight premium over physical gold. Both are good - choose based on your investment amount and convenience preference.
