Explain that the rate issued by IBJA is universally accepted. However, GST has not been included in the rate given on this website. When buying and selling gold, you can refer to the rate of IBJA. According to Rajesh Khosla, media in-charge of the India Bullion and Jewelers Association Delhi, ibja shows the average price of gold and silver from 14 centers across the country. Khosla says that the current rate of gold-silver or, say, the spot price may be different at different places but there is a slight difference in their prices.
Internationally, gold prices have fallen below $ 1920 an ounce. The US dollar has rebounded strongly due to good economic data. At the same time, the rise in US bond yield, expectation of treatment of corona and possibility of trade deal between US-China has started putting pressure on gold. This is why gold rates are falling.
