Gold Prices Show Mixed Trends Amid Fed Rate Hike Bets and Geopolitical Tensions
Gold prices in India showed mixed movements from August 28 to September 1, 2026. After a decline driven by expectations of a US Federal Reserve rate hike and rising crude oil prices, gold rebounded on September 1 amid Middle East tensions and safe-haven demand. Prices varied across cities and jewellery brands, with 24K gold around Rs 1.55 lakh per 10 grams. Analysts note that inflation concerns and geopolitical risks are influencing gold's near-term range-bound trend, while investors watch upcoming US economic data for direction.
