Gold price today stood at Rs 77,570 as of 6:45 a.m., according to India Bullion Association. The price recovered from last week's lows on Monday, crossing the Rs 77,000 mark. The previous week saw prices going as low as Rs 76,520 on Dec. 5. The prices have risen above the Rs 77,500-mark, hovering closer to the record highs of November.

Gold rates saw a significant decline throughout November as the demand for the commodity was lower. October had seen a stronger demand ahead of festivities, pushing it up to Rs 81,500. But the price immediately slipped under the pressure of reduced demand, dipping to as low as Rs 74,390, mirroring record lows.

The global price has seen much movement, as events like the US election results and geo-political conflicts have had direct impact on rates. Domestic markets have followed suit and seen some volatility in prices due to these cues and events. A slip in demand post festive season had caused a sharp decline, before the prices were pushed up by geo-political conflicts. The Russia-Ukraine conflict flared up, bringing a rebound in the rates.
