Gold Price Nears Rs 1 Lakh Mark in City; Silver Hits Yearly High

The gold rate in the city continues its upward march, edging closer to the ₹1 lakh milestone. On December 22, gold rose by ₹640 per sovereign, taking the price to ₹99,840 per sovereign (8 grams) and ₹12,480 per gram, an increase of ₹80 per gram. On December 20, gold was priced at ₹99,200 per sovereign and ₹12,400 per gram, marking a marginal rise of ₹20. The yellow metal had earlier touched its highest price of the year at ₹1,00,120 per sovereign on December 15. Market experts attribute the ongoing rally to the US Federal Reserve’s widely anticipated interest rate cut and its indication of further easing next year. This move weakened the US dollar, boosting global safe-haven demand for gold. Additionally, a record-low rupee has supported higher domestic prices. Previously, gold had reached a yearly high of ₹97,600 per sovereign (₹12,200 per gram) on October 17. Since the beginning of the year, gold prices have surged significantly. On January 1, gold was priced at ₹57,200 per sovereign (₹7,150 per gram). As of December 22, prices have climbed by ₹42,640 per sovereign—an increase of nearly 74.5%. Silver also recorded a sharp rise, increasing by ₹5 to trade at ₹231 per gram (₹2,31,000 per kg) on December 22. This marks the highest silver price recorded so far this year.

How Long Can Raw Chicken Be Stored in the Fridge? What Happens If You Keep It Too Long?

In modern times, many people prefer ordering chicken online rather than buying it from the market. However, experts warn that storing raw chicken for several days before cooking can be dangerous. Fridge Storage Guidelines – Raw chicken can be kept in the fridge for 1 to 2 days.– It should be cooked within 48 hours of purchase. Freezer Storage for Longer Preservation – If you plan to use chicken after 48 hours, store it in the freezer.– Whole chicken can last 9 to 12 months in the freezer.– Cut or portioned chicken can last 6 to 8 months.– Avoid taking it out in between to maintain quality and safety. Special Precautions – Pre-cut or packaged chicken has a shorter shelf life, less than 48 hours, so keep it separate in the fridge.– Store chicken in airtight containers to prevent bacterial growth that can affect other foods.– Wash chicken before cooking and sanitize sinks, stoves, and cutting boards to avoid cross-contamination.– In summer, chicken can spoil within 2 hours after being taken out of the fridge.– Signs of spoiled chicken include bad odor, color change to brown or yellow, and sticky texture. Dispose of it immediately if these appear. Important Storage Tip Avoid storing raw chicken in plastic containers in the freezer, as they can retain moisture and promote bacterial growth. Glass or steel airtight containers are recommended for safe storage.
