Gold selling cheaper by Rs 7300 from record highs


In 2020, the COVID-19 crisis led to a sharp rise in the prices of gold. As the stock market crashed on concerns around an economic crisis, investors heavily put their money on gold. As a result, gold hit an all-time high of Rs 56191 per 10 grams in August 2020 on MCX. In comparison to today’s prices, gold is currently selling cheaper by Rs 7300.
