Why Do Gold Prices Change Daily?
International Market Rates
Global gold prices fluctuate based on economic conditions, geopolitical events, and investment demand worldwide.
USD to NPR Exchange Rate
Since gold is traded in US Dollars internationally, changes in the Nepal Rastra Bank exchange rate directly impact local prices.
Local Demand & Festivals
During Dashain, Tihar, and wedding seasons, increased demand pushes prices higher. Off-season months see lower rates.

For Hallmark gold, look for the BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) certification mark or international hallmark stamps showing 999 (24K) or 916 (22K). For Tejabi gold, reputable dealers perform acid tests. Always buy from FENEGOSIDA-registered dealers and ask for a proper bill with purity mentioned.
