Gold Rises Over 9% in July as Investors Shift to Safer Assets, Report Says
Gold prices rose over 9% in July, outperforming broader equity markets, driven by a weaker US jobs report that eased Federal Reserve rate hike concerns. Despite the rally, investors largely shifted gains into safer assets, with precious metal inflows dropping and money market funds seeing inflows of Rs 1.4 lakh crore. Fixed income funds also reversed outflows to attract new investments. Within India, sectors like auto, transport, and healthcare showed strong performance, while technology and private banks faced outflows amid mixed market trends.
