3 april: Gold Prices and Horoscope for April 3

Gold prices have pulled back following a sharp rally, with international spot gold trading at approximately $4,650.20 per ounce, a decline of about 2.80%. This correction comes after gold reached record highs above $4,800 earlier in the week, indicating a volatile market.

In India, domestic rates have also fallen, with a drop of approximately ₹3,980 per 10 grams today. The current average for 24K gold now stands at ₹1.48 lakh per 10 grams.

To provide further context, the prices for gold in India are as follows: 24K Gold (99.9%) is priced at ₹14,897 per gram or ₹1,48,970 per 10 grams, while 22K Gold (91.6%) is at ₹13,655 per gram and ₹1,36,550 per 10 grams. The price for 18K Gold is ₹11,173 per gram and ₹1,11,730 per 10 grams.
