Gold Prices Show Mixed Trends Amid Middle East Tensions and Rising Oil Costs
Gold prices showed mixed movements amid escalating Middle East tensions and rising crude oil prices. While U.S. gold futures and spot prices declined due to inflation concerns and potential Federal Reserve rate hikes, domestic gold prices in India rebounded by around Rs 1,400 per 10 grams on value buying and subdued dollar movement. Silver prices extended losses in India despite global gains. Elevated oil prices and geopolitical risks continue to influence market sentiment and expectations of U.S. interest rate increases.
