Why is the Gold price moving today?
Gold prices are holding steady as markets continue to monitor the developments around the US-Iran conflict. However, the yellow metal is trading with a negative bias over a strong dollar, as a firm greenback makes precious metals like gold more expensive for other currency holders, thereby denting demand.
Market sentiment for gold remains cautious as central banks globally have increased the expectations of tighter monetary policy, as oil continues to trade at elevated levels. Higher interest rates reduce the appeal of non-interest bearing assets.
Traders have increased the expectations of rate hike by the US Federal Reserve for its December meeting, and currently weigh in no rate cuts for this year. Since the start of the West Asia conflict, which began in late March, gold prices have tumbled down by nearly 14%.
Outlook for Gold Investors
Analysts expect gold prices to remain range-bound in the near-term as markets monitor the developments in the West Asia conflict. Experts have said a huge movement for gold prices would be possible if the chokepoint- Strait of Hormuz reopens.
Additionally, Kevin Warsh will swear in as the new chair of Fed succeeding Jerome Powell, due later in the day. Markets will monitor this for any cues on the central bank’s future policy developments.
“MCX Gold June contract is expected to trade sideways within the range of Rs1,57.565 to Rs 1,61,060,” analysts at Kotak Securities said in a report.
Retail investors are advised to track not just domestic rates but also international trends before making buying decisions.
