Quarter gold prices today showed a sharp increase, recording a rise of 425 TL during the day and reaching up to 9,600 TL. The rise above the 4,000 dollar level for gold and the increase in the dollar/TL exchange rate were decisive in the rapid rise of quarter gold.
REASONS FOR THE RISE
- Global economic and geopolitical uncertainties, along with an increase in safe-haven demand, strengthened the shift towards gold.
- Concerns about the U.S. economy and budget/transparency risks also pushed the gold price up; this directly reflected on domestic prices, causing quarter gold to climb.
- The purchases by central banks and the concentration of investor demand are also supporting the rise.
GRAM GOLD AND MARKET SPREAD
- According to the data used, gram gold has reached record levels (the report noted that there is a spread between official and Grand Bazaar prices according to different sources).
- The report emphasized that both gram gold and Grand Bazaar prices have also reached record highs along with the quarter price; this situation directly affected quarter purchases.
INVESTOR AND CONSUMER IMPACT
- The rapid increase in quarter gold is raising the costs for citizens who invest for gifts and small savings.
- The persistence of volatility in the short term indicates that more cautious behavior is needed for buying and selling, and a long-term perspective should be evaluated.
