Gold prices in 2018 saw some significant fluctuations due to ongoing geopolitical tensions in the United States, which impacted the U.S. dollar rate and influenced global bullion demand. Local demand for the yellow metal was influenced by the fluctuating rupee rate, which continued to play second fiddle to the dollar. The ongoing Brexit crisis caused fluctuations across the Eurozone, which led to a surge in bullion demand towards the end of the year. The U.S government shutdown also served to pressure the U.S. dollar, though gold rates did not see much impact at the time.
