According to industry experts, despite elevated prices, demand is expected to remain strong during Akshaya Tritiya. “Buyers are focusing on lightweight jewellery to manage budgets while respecting tradition,” said one analyst. Jewelers are also expanding their product ranges to cater to varied tastes and price points, helping sustain momentum even at near-record price levels.

With investors eyeing key U.S. macroeconomic data—such as the JOLTS job openings report and the Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index—tomorrow’s movements in the dollar and bond yields will likely influence bullion’s near-term trajectory.
