International market trends influence bullion sentiment
Sentiment in the bullion market on 6 November 2026 was shaped by four factors: a weakening US dollar, lower US Treasury yields, falling crude oil prices, and anticipation of US payroll data. Falling crude oil prices reduced inflation fears, which contributed to the market environment on the same day.
Understanding gold and silver purity standards
Retail gold is available in 24-karat and 22-karat standards. 24-carat gold is the purest commonly traded form, containing 99.9% gold, and is used for investment products like coins and bars.
22-carat gold contains about 91.67% gold and is used for jewellery because other metals are added for durability. 999-purity silver contains 99.9% pure silver and is used for investment products including silver bars and coins.
Consumer advice for festive season purchases
Consumers are advised to remain alert to changing bullion prices as they plan purchases during the festive season. Buyers should monitor bullion prices before visiting jewellery stores because gold rates can differ between retailers even on the same day.
