The gold prices on Tuesday, May 21, 2024 took a significant dip. Futures for June delivery on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) fell by Rs 458 to Rs 73,909 per 10 grams largely due to speculators selling off their holdings.
The reason for the gold price fall
This decrease was partly because the US dollar strengthened, marking gold more expensive for buyers using other currencies. When the dollar rises, gold often becomes less attractive as an investment.
