Gold price today: Yellow metal rate has surged by around Rs 1,700 per 10 gm at the MCX in the last two days while silver price shot up by nearly Rs 4,000 per kg in the same time period. This comes on the back of a shock plunge in recent days and will soothe the frayed nerves of investors. However, the reason why gold prices had fallen recently only to recover thereafter can be put down to plain and simple profit-booking motive of investors after the historic jump saw rates eclipsing all-time highs virtually on a daily basis at that time.

Speaking on what experts are saying about gold price prediction, Mrituanjay said, "Various experts are of the opinion that reasons that are boosting gold price are still very much there - cases of Coronavirus are still on a rise globally and there is no concrete development in Coronavirus vaccine development."
