Gold Price Today In Kolkata: Prices Rise As Global Trends Lift Sentiment

Gold prices in Kolkata edged higher on Thursday, extending the steady trend seen through the week. The marginal rise came as the Indian rupee strengthened and global gold prices softened amid mixed economic indicators. The movement reflects a cautious stance among investors amid persistent uncertainty in both domestic and international markets. In Kolkata, 24-karat gold was priced at Rs 12,191 per gram, while 22-karat gold stood at Rs 11,175 per gram on Thursday. Though the increase was modest, it underscores how closely Indian gold prices track external influences such as global trade conditions, inflation pressures, and interest rate expectations. Import Dependence Influences Domestic Prices  India’s heavy reliance on imported gold continues to shape domestic price movements. Despite official efforts to boost recycling and structured gold collection, recycled metal still accounts for only a minor portion of total supply. Consequently, any change in the rupee’s exchange rate directly impacts import costs and, in turn, local prices. An appreciating rupee typically reduces import expenses, offering consumers temporary relief, while depreciation quickly drives up costs. On Thursday, the rupee’s relative strength provided support to domestic prices, keeping them steady despite weaker global signals. Global Headwinds And Investor Behaviour Globally, gold’s trajectory remains influenced by a mix of economic and geopolitical factors. Shifts in bond yields, monetary policy decisions, and geopolitical tensions continue to drive investor sentiment. Analysts observe that gold’s reputation as a safe-haven asset remains intact as investors hedge against inflation and currency volatility. In Kolkata, steady demand has persisted despite slight fluctuations. Traders note that buying activity could strengthen in the coming weeks, supported by festive demand. While short-term adjustments are expected, gold continues to hold its position as a reliable investment amid ongoing market uncertainty.

Gadgets Review | Asus ROG Xbox Ally: A Handsome Handheld That Handles Everything… Except High Settings

Asus ROG Xbox Ally Review: In a gaming world that has gone full multiverse: Switch 2 for nostalgia nerds, Steam Deck for Linux loyalists, and PlayStation Portal for… well, streaming Kojima cutscenes. Asus and Microsoft have teamed up for the “official Xbox handheld PC”.Yes, this thing is technically a Windows laptop that shrunk in the wash. And yes, my excitable sidekick GennieGPT, ABP Live's in-house AI review bot who gets perked up by specs, is already vibrating with joy over the spec sheet. Let the tug-of-war begin. Asus ROG Xbox Ally Review: Quick Pointers What Works: Crisp, bright 7-inch FHD display Once a game finally loads, gameplay is smooth Comfortable ergonomics and responsive controls Solid for lightweight and indie titles What Doesn’t: Xbox Game Pass downloads crawl Setup demands updates, logins, more updates Doesn’t justify its Rs 69,990 pricing Speakers lack punch Offline play is severely limited due to Xbox app dependence Built Like a Dream, Powered Like a Daydream ✨ GennieGPT: Ryzen Z2 A processor! Radeon graphics! Turbo mode! 120Hz display! This is basically a handheld supercomputer. NASA-level power, almost. Shayak: NASA? Perhaps my AI friend is missing an H in there somewhere. Yes, the chip is newer than the one in the first ROG Ally. No, that doesn’t mean you’re getting ultra settings. It’s great for older titles, indies, emulation, and games that don’t need your GPU to climb Mount Doom. But heavy hitters? They hit back. Case in point: Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II: low settings Doom: The Dark Ages: low settings Little Kitty, Big City: flawless, adorable, purr-fect So yes, it works, if you’re fine spending some 70k to play games that also run on a mid-range phone. ✨ GennieGPT: Xbox Game Pass built in! Cloud gaming! So many titles! You boot it up and BOOM — instant fun! Shayak: Instant fun? Gennie, I had to survive three rounds of updates, two reboots, a Microsoft login, and one identity check asking if I’m a robot. Irony, eh? And the Xbox Game Pass app? Wonderful for playing, terrible for downloading. Watching a 100GB game trickle in at 5Mbps feels like punishment for sins I don’t remember committing. Add to that: Many titles require online verification Offline modes are hit-or-miss Cloud gaming depends on Wi-Fi behaving like a saint The Ally can play great games. The question is: how many hoops are you willing to jump through? Ergonomics & Display: The Real Ws ✨ GennieGPT: PERFECT buttons! PERFECT triggers! PERFECT in your hands! It’s like holding a cloud that can run Windows! Shayak: Clouds don’t get this warm, my friend. But credit where it’s due, Asus absolutely nailed the ergonomics. The curves fit your palms, the triggers feel premium, the face buttons are crisp, and the grip buttons don’t randomly activate like the original Ally’s did. I have always been a fan of ROG's design elements, and the Ally does not disappoint. Especially, that eye logo on the back, so darned cool! At 670g, it’s lighter than most handheld PCs and feels built for long sessions. ✨ GennieGPT: 7-inch 1080p, 120Hz! Bright! Smooth! Gorgeous colours! Dolby Atmos! Crystal clear audio! Shayak: The display? Beautiful. Sharp. Fast. This is the part where the Ally genuinely feels premium. The speakers, however, whisper like they’re afraid to wake the neighbours. Dolby Atmos is technically there, but for full enjoyment, you’ll want headphones. Performance Reality Check ✨ GennieGPT: It runs everything! AAA, indie, cloud, retro, emulation — POWER UNLIMITED! Shayak: Let’s bring this down from orbit. You will NOT be playing modern AAA games in high settings. You will NOT get the performance implied by the price tag. But, you WILL enjoy indie darlings and older AAA games, which isn't a bad deal. As I was reviewing the Ally, I broke out my years-old Amkette EvoFox Deck smartphone gamepad, connected my OLED phone, and booted the PS Connect app. Within seconds, I was playing Death Stranding 2 in full buttery smooth glory. And the Deck only costs Rs 3,299. Food for thought. ✨ GennieGPT: TWO Type-C ports! MicroSD! Wi-Fi 6E! Bluetooth 5.2! This is basically a networking monster! Shayak: It’s well-connected, yes. Multiplayer works smoothly. Accessories connect without drama. But if the Game Pass app is crawling at 2MB/s on a 300Mbps line, even Wi-Fi 6E can’t save you. Asus ROG Xbox Ally Review: Final Verdict The ROG Xbox Ally is a beautifully built handheld PC with console dreams and PC-level complications. It has heart, ambition, a great display, and top-tier ergonomics. But its power ceiling is too low for Rs 69,990, its setup is tedious, and its offline limitations make it far less flexible than it looks. If you’re okay playing on low settings, living inside Game Pass, and treating this as a premium indie machine, wonderful. It’ll serve you well. But if you expect ultra graphics or plug-and-play comfort like Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck? This Ally might not be your friend, after all. If you want to run games in High or even Ultra presets, you can always go for the high-end Asus ROG Xbox Ally X, which is priced at Rs 1,14,990. Should You Buy the ROG Xbox Ally? Yes, if you’re fine with low-to-medium graphics and want a comfortable, well-built handheld PC for indies and older titles. Maybe, if you like the idea of portable PC gaming but don’t want to wrestle with updates, downloads, and Game Pass quirks. No, if you expect high-preset AAA performance or think a Rs 70,000 device should feel like a true console powerhouse.

Gold Price Today In Lucknow: Yellow Metal Sees Marginal Rise Amid Global Volatility

Gold prices in Lucknow edged slightly higher on Thursday, mirroring movements seen across several major Indian cities. The modest uptick comes amid global price fluctuations and currency shifts, as investors assess signs of slowing economic growth and evolving monetary policy expectations. In Lucknow, 24-karat gold was priced at Rs 12,206 per gram, while 22-karat gold stood at Rs 11,190 per gram on Thursday. The marginal increase reflects a brief pause in what has otherwise been a steady phase for the yellow metal, supported by consistent demand from retail investors and jewellers. India’s Gold Demand Remains Robust Despite Price Swings India continues to hold its position as the world’s second-largest consumer of gold, with demand remaining strong despite periodic price fluctuations. Although efforts to boost recycling and domestic sourcing are ongoing, imports continue to account for most of the country’s supply, leaving prices highly sensitive to rupee movements. Since gold is traded internationally in US dollars, even small changes in the rupee’s value can significantly affect import costs. A stronger rupee typically provides relief to domestic buyers, while any depreciation leads to higher prices. On Thursday, the rupee’s relative firmness helped cushion some of the global weakness, resulting in a marginal rise in local prices. Global Cues Keep Market Direction Mixed Globally, gold prices are being influenced by a complex mix of factors, including inflation trends, bond yield movements, and shifts in investor sentiment. Uncertainty around the pace of US economic recovery, expectations of Federal Reserve rate adjustments, and ongoing geopolitical tensions continue to affect the bullion market. Jewellers in Lucknow report that despite the modest rise, consumer activity remains steady, with buyers viewing gold as a reliable long-term investment. Many are taking advantage of the current price stability to make purchases ahead of upcoming festivals and weddings. Analysts expect domestic demand to remain resilient in the weeks ahead, even as international market volatility persists.

Gold Price Today In Chennai: Rates Increase As Global Demand Strengthens

Gold prices in Chennai rose slightly on Thursday, reflecting a broader uptick across domestic bullion markets. A firm rupee and muted global cues tempered the advance, keeping the yellow metal marginally higher after a stable start to the week. Analysts noted that local price movements mirrored the interaction between global trends and the strength of the domestic currency. As of Thursday, 24-karat gold in Chennai was priced at Rs 12,273 per gram, while 22-karat gold stood at Rs 11,250 per gram. Despite the modest increase, the city’s bullion market continues to witness steady retail demand, led by long-term investors and jewellers preparing for the festive season. Rates Increase Due To Strengthening Demand Globally, gold prices are being shaped by economic indicators and broader risk sentiment. Movements in bond yields, central bank policy decisions, and geopolitical developments continue to influence bullion markets. With inflation concerns persisting and investors reassessing growth forecasts, gold’s safe-haven appeal remains strong. In Chennai, investors continue to view gold as a dependable store of value. While short-term fluctuations persist, the underlying demand remains resilient. Industry analysts expect consumption to strengthen further with the onset of the festive and wedding seasons—traditionally a period of high gold purchases in southern India. Rupee Movement Influences Domestic Gold Prices India, the world’s second-largest gold consumer after China, remains heavily reliant on imports to meet its domestic demand. Despite initiatives to enhance recycling and formal gold collection systems, recycled gold still forms only a minor portion of total supply. Since gold is traded globally in US dollars, changes in the rupee’s value directly affect domestic prices. An appreciating rupee lowers import costs, offering consumers temporary price relief, while depreciation pushes up landed costs, making gold more expensive. On Tuesday, the rupee’s marginal gains helped cushion the upward pressure from international markets, keeping local prices relatively steady. Analysts suggest that a sustained strengthening of the rupee could help stabilise prices further, though ongoing global economic and geopolitical uncertainties may continue to drive volatility in the near term.
