Factors Influencing Gold Prices in India
Global cues, especially the U.S. Federal Reserve’s cautious policy stance and ongoing geopolitical tensions, largely influenced gold’s modest price rise.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell maintained interest rates unchanged but highlighted inflationary pressures due to tariffs and other factors, tempering expectations for aggressive rate cuts. Powell indicated that any future monetary policy decisions would depend heavily on upcoming economic data, particularly inflation trends.
Manav Modi, Senior Analyst at Motilal Oswal Financial Services, explained, “Gold prices slipped following the Fed’s decision to hold rates steady and signal a slower pace of easing. While the market initially reacted positively, Powell’s remarks emphasized patience and data dependency, weighing on immediate bullish sentiment.”
On the geopolitical front, tensions surrounding the Iran-Israel conflict continue to inject uncertainty into the market. President Trump’s suggestion of potential talks with Iran and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s openness to peace negotiations with Ukraine added to the complex global backdrop affecting investor sentiment.
Modi added, “The ongoing war-like situation in the Middle East persists without resolution, dampening price momentum. Additionally, lower-than-expected US weekly jobless claims introduced short-term volatility. With US markets closed for a public holiday, trading activity may remain subdued.”
