- International Gold Prices: Since India imports most of its gold, international market rates directly impact domestic prices
- Currency Exchange Rates: The USD to INR exchange rate plays a crucial role in determining final prices
- Local Demand: Festival seasons and wedding periods typically drive up demand and prices
