Why is the Gold price moving today?
Gold prices are holding steady over optimism in the West Asia conflict. US President Donald Trump signalled that the war with Tehran is almost nearing its end and the crucial trade route- Strait of Hormuz is likely to re-open soon. Alongside Israel and Lebanon have agreed on a 10-day ceasefire.
These geopolitical developments helped cool off oil prices from their record high levels, helping reduce inflationary concerns, which further boosted the sentiment for precious metals. However, the Hormuz route still remains under dual blockade.
Domestically, trade sources cited by Reuters said that Indian banks have halted import of gold and silver from overseas suppliers, with a large quantity of precious metals stuck at customs. The report added the measure has been taken to support the Indian rupee and also control the country’s trade deficit which is likely to rise owing to the Iranian conflict.
Outlook for Gold Investors
Analysts expect gold prices to remain range-bound in the near term over hopes of permanent ceasefire between US and Iran. Easing geopolitical tensions have helped reduce the expectations of tighter monetary policy by central banks globally, boosting the near term sentiment for the yellow metal.
However, over the longer run gold may take time to regain its momentum as experts have cautioned that the damages caused to the oil infrastructure in the Middle East will keep fuel prices high, which is likely to increase inflationary concerns and lower the demand for non-interest yielding gold.
“MCX Gold June futures may appreciate to Rs. 154,000/10g in tandem with the global trends,” said Jigar Trivedi, Senior Research Analyst at Indusind Securities.
Retail investors are advised to track not just domestic rates but also international trends before making buying decisions.
