Why prices are trending up?
Gold prices are up sharply today owing to increased safe-haven demand and dovish commentary by the US Federal Reserve. The Trump administration, which ousted Venezuela’s president Nicolas Maduro, has further warned that it may administer the country temporarily if its demands are not met. This has heightened geopolitical tensions, contributing to the rise in the safe-haven appeal of the yellow metal.
Additionally, gold continues to extend gains owing to weak US manufacturing data and dovish comments by the US Fed. While the chances of a rate cut at the Fed’s January meeting remain minimal, markets are eyeing at least two additional rate cuts by the central bank in 2026. Non-interest-yielding assets like gold tend to perform well in lower interest rate environments
Silver prices continue to trend upward, tracking gains in gold. Further, tight supply conditions, robust industrial demand, and steady ETF inflows continue to accelerate momentum for the white metal
Outlook for Gold

The yellow metal is expected to extend gains amid Venezuela’s regional instability. Markets now eye key US economic data, which will provide a clearer trajectory for gold prices. Additionally, increasing chances of further rate cuts by the Fed in 2026 continue to bolster demand for the yellow metal.
