Why is the Gold price moving today?
Gold dipped to around $5,000 per ounce, staying near its lowest level in a month, as investors continued to assess the impact of fluctuating oil prices on inflation ahead of the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy decision.
With the Fed widely expected to leave interest rates unchanged later today, markets will closely examine the central bank’s outlook on rising energy prices and a cooling labour market.
Other major central banks, including the ECB, BoE, and BoJ, are also expected to keep their policy settings unchanged.
Meanwhile, the US and Israel continued overnight strikes, as Iran confirmed that national security chief Ali Larijani had been killed, following earlier Israeli claims he died in an airstrike.
Outlook for Gold Investors
The central bank is expected to hold rates steady, with focus on its outlook amid rising energy prices and a cooling labor market. Also, Tehran pressed ahead with attacks on energy infrastructure across the Persian Gulf, while shipping through the Strait of Hormuz remained largely disrupted.
“Despite the recent weakness, gold is still up about 16% year-to-date. MCX Gold April futures are likely to trade with a bearish undertone to Rs 1.55 lakh per 10 grams,” said Jigar Trivedi, Senior Research Analyst at Indusind Securities.
