Factors Affecting COMEX Gold Prices


  • Hedging interest of producers/miners.
  • Above ground supply of gold from central bank's sale, reclaimed scrap, and official gold loans.
  • World macroeconomic factors such as the US Dollar, interest rate and economic events.
  • Commodity-specific events such as the construction of new production facilities or processes, unexpected mine or plant closures, or industry restructuring.
  • In India, gold demand is also determined to a large extent by its price level and volatility. 
Global Scenario
