Supply and Demand: The price of gold mainly depends on how much people want it and how much is available. If more people want gold, the price usually goes up. But if there’s too much gold available, the price can go down.
Global Economic Conditions: The overall global economy also has a big impact on gold prices. When the world economy is not doing well or there’s a recession, investors often choose gold as a safe option, causing its price to go up.
