Gold and Silver Prices Continue to Rise in Nepal, Setting New Records
Gold and Silver Prices Continue to Rise in Nepal, Setting New Records The prices of gold and silver in the Nepali market continue to rise, setting new records daily. The primary reasons for this upward trend are the increase in gold prices in the global market and the weakening of the Nepali rupee against the US dollar. Experts suggest that the Nepali rupee, which has a fixed exchange rate with the US dollar, has come under indirect pressure as the Indian rupee weakens. As a result, the US dollar has become more expensive, making gold imports costlier, and leading to a sharp increase in the price of gold in the domestic market. According to the Nepal Gold and Silver Dealers’ Association, the price of gold reached NPR 309,300 per tola on Tuesday, marking the highest value ever recorded. The price of gold was NPR 309,000 per tola on Monday. Similarly, the price of silver increased by NPR 105 per tola, rising to NPR 6,870 on Tuesday, which is also the highest price ever recorded for silver.
