Why is the Gold price moving today?
Gold traded near $5,125 per ounce on COMEX, recovering from losses as escalating tensions in the Middle East supported safe-haven demand. The US-Israeli conflict with Iran entered its seventh day, with Iran launching missiles and drones across the Gulf on Thursday, striking an oil refinery in Bahrain, while Israel continued airstrikes on Tehran and the US suspended operations at its embassy in Kuwait.
Rising geopolitical risks and higher oil prices lifted inflation concerns, prompting traders to scale back expectations for Federal Reserve easing to just one rate cut this year, compared with two projected earlier in the week. Also, CME cuts initial margin on its COMEX 100 gold futures to 7% from 9%.
Outlook for Gold Investors
Jigar Trivedi, Senior Research Analyst at Indusind Securities, said that MCX Gold April futures are expected to rebound in today’s session to Rs 1.61 lakh per 10 grams.
