The current market of gold in Kathmandu is bad right now. The demand of gold has gone down. This is due to market rate fluctuation of gold price.
The challenges for the demand and supply of gold in Kathmandu valley is that the customers have decreased while gold shops have increased. The buying capacities of customers are decreasing day by day due to fluctuation of gold price. Every day we see a new price of gold in the newspaper.

    Gold is something that you actually have to put effort into, in order to get it from the earth. It's not free to harvest, it takes time, energy, and money. For this reason, it always retains its value in times of economic trouble. Some even believe that the United States should go to a completely gold standard, getting rid of the Federal Reserve and getting away from printed money. This would restrict the government to only spend the money that they actually have in their possession, so debt and inflation would be controlled and we would not have economic collapses like we see today. Recessions are still possible on a gold standard, but they would not be nearly as severe. In fact, most people don't know that in the last recession, we were threatened by a Great Depression but by bailing out the banks and the car industries, we avoided that but only temporarily. One day, the recession will return and if you have invested in buying gold coins, you will have money by your side to support…

Early signs of global economic instability induced the European Central bank to heavily reinforce its gold position more than 2 years ago (Prial, 2011). And while the Euro zone truly faces a deepened fiscal crisis, gold is becoming even more attractive still.…
