MUMBAI: Gold has never shone so brightly. On Thursday, the price of standard gold rose Rs230 in Kolkata to scale the psychological barrier of Rs10,000 for 10gm. In Delhi, it missed the mark by a whisker (Rs50) as its price rose Rs240.
 
Analysts said dwindling investor confidence in the dollar, rising crude prices, and uncertainty in Iran and Iraq is taking gold to new peaks. Bullion markets across India recorded gains between Rs215 and Rs240. In Mumbai, standard gold rose Rs215 to touch Rs9,890 for 10gm. The price of the metal has climbed over six per cent (Rs570) over the last week.
 
Analysts said the spiralling price in India is a reflection of the global trend that sees the yellow metal as a hedge against inflation.
 
Industry insiders say hoarding by jewellers and speculators in the local market, who expect to gain from the rising prices, is also pushing up demand. “Local markets have seen a slight surge in jewellery demand because of the wedding season,” said BSPL India.com CEO Vijay Bhambwani.
