India’s reliance on imported gold largely influences domestic prices, which closely mirror global trends. Additionally, the cultural importance of gold in India, particularly during festivals and weddings, can impact demand levels.
Gold Prices Today: What Expert Says
Rahul Kalantri, vice-president (commodities) of Mehta Equities, said, “Gold and silver prices surged sharply on Thursday evening following the release of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI), which suggested the possibility of the Federal Reserve lowering borrowing costs. Consequently, U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar index dropped, providing support for precious metals. The CPI fell by 0.1% last month after remaining flat in May, contrary to the expected increase of 0.1%. Easing inflation in the U.S. and profit-taking in the dollar index are likely to bolster gold and silver prices.”
He added that gold and silver prices are anticipated to remain volatile in today’s session ahead of the US Producer Price Index (PPI) data release. However, the overall trend appears firm.
“Gold has support at $2,388-$2,370 and resistance at $2,427-$2,445. Silver has support at $31.00-$30.80 and resistance at $31.30-$31.52. In INR terms, gold has support at ₹73,050-₹72,810 and resistance at ₹73,520-₹73,690. Silver has support at ₹93,440-₹92,880 and resistance at ₹94,840-₹95,520,” Kalantri added.
