This study examines the key factors influencing gold prices in both domestic (Indian) and international markets. Using advanced statistical methods, we analyze how global economic trends, currency fluctuations, inflation, and interest rates impact gold prices over time. The research finds a strong link between Indian and international gold prices, while also identifying unique local influences such as import duties and seasonal demand patterns tied to cultural events. Our analysis reveals how major world events like economic crises and geopolitical conflicts affect gold's stability and appeal as a safe investment. The study highlights gold's dual role as both a financial asset and a culturally significant commodity, particularly in the Indian context. Based on our findings, we offer practical recommendations for policymakers and investors, including ways to manage gold demand and reduce market volatility. The research also points to emerging trends in digital gold products and new technologies that may shape future gold markets. These insights provide valuable guidance for economic planning and investment strategies in an increasingly interconnected global economy.
