Gold Prices Rise Amid Lower US Yields and Liquidity Support; Silver and Gold Loan Stocks Gain
Gold prices have risen sharply in August, reaching over Rs 1.58 lakh per 10 grams in India and above $4,500 per ounce internationally, supported by declining US Treasury yields, a weaker dollar, and increased liquidity support from the US Treasury. This rally has boosted gold loan companies' shares like Muthoot Finance and Manappuram Finance. However, geopolitical tensions, rising crude oil prices, and upcoming US economic data contribute to market volatility and cautious investor sentiment. Silver prices have also increased alongside gold, with ETFs showing notable gains.
