Gold and Silver Prices Rise Amid Easing Oil Prices and US Rate Outlook
Gold and silver prices rose significantly this week, with gold surpassing Rs 1.50 lakh per 10 grams and silver reaching near Rs 2,28,000 per kg on MCX. Gains were driven by easing crude oil prices, a weaker US dollar, and expectations of a less aggressive US Federal Reserve interest rate policy. Geopolitical tensions in West Asia and increased institutional demand also supported the rally. Investors await the US nonfarm payrolls report for further cues on monetary policy, while analysts advise caution amid potential profit-taking.
