Why is the Gold price moving today?
Gold prices are holding steady largely on the back of increased hopes of negotiations between US-Iran, and a slight easiness in the dollar index. A soft dollar makes precious metals like gold less expensive for other currency holders, thereby denting demand.
US President Donald Trump said Washington is halting plans of strike on Iran, which helped edge down oil prices a bit. However, oil prices continue to trade at elevated levels, fuelling inflationary concerns and reinforcing expectations of together monetary policy by central banks globally.
Currently, markets expect no rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve for this year, and traders have increased the probability of a rate hike by the Fed for later in December.
Outlook for Gold Investors
Analysts expect gold prices to remain range-bound in the near term citing inflationary pressures caused by the stretched West Asia conflict. High fuel prices continue to dampen the appeal of non-interest bearing assets like gold, as investors divert towards bonds and currencies.
“MCX Gold June futures may drop to Rs. 158,700/10g and Rs. 160,000/10g is a resistance for now. Outlook for intraday today is weak,” said Jigar Trivedi,Senior Research Analyst at Indusind Securities.
Retail investors are advised to track not just domestic rates but also international trends before making buying decisions.
