Interesting FAQ: What Everyone is Asking
Q1: Why is gold rising today after yesterday’s crash? The rise is a “technical rebound.” After the price fell 5-6% in 48 hours, value-buyers and jewelers rushed in to buy at lower levels, which naturally pushed the price back up.
Q2: How did Dhurandhar 2 beat RRR and Kalki 2898 AD? Thanks to record-breaking paid previews (₹43 Cr) and a massive release across 34,000+ shows globally, it achieved a Day 1 worldwide gross of ₹236.63 Cr, surpassing RRR‘s ₹223 Cr.
Q3: Is silver a good buy today at ₹2.55 Lakh/kg? Silver is down significantly from its peak of ₹2.75 Lakh earlier this month. Many analysts consider this a “buying zone” before the next industrial rally.
