Gold Prices Fluctuate in India Amid US Economic Data and Fed Rate Speculation
Gold prices in India showed mixed movements on September 7 and 8, 2026, influenced by global economic factors including a strong US jobs report and expectations of Federal Reserve rate decisions. Prices dipped on September 7 due to increased bets on Fed rate hikes, with 22k gold rates falling across major cities. On September 8, gold prices rebounded slightly in early trade, with 24k gold futures rising on the MCX.
