Gold slips, Dollar gains

ByVictoria

Gold prices fell sharply by Rs 1,000 to Rs 98,400 per 10 grams in the national capital on Monday, amid a weak global trend and optimism surrounding a possible US-China trade agreement, according to media reports citing the All India Sarafa Association.

“Gold prices continued to decline as easing US-China trade tensions boosted investors’ risk appetite, reducing demand for safe-haven assets like bullion while a stronger dollar added downward pressure,” said Chintan Mehta, Chief Executive Officer of Abans Financial Services, as quoted in media reports.

“Rising geopolitical tensions could limit gold’s downside. As war risks escalate and new conflicts emerge, investors are likely to seek refuge in gold.”

    “The uncertainty surrounding Trump’s first measures as U.S. president fuelled demand for gold as a safe haven. This can be seen, among other things, in the strong inflow of more than 10 tons into the world’s largest and most liquid gold ETF on Friday,” Commerzbank Research said.

    “The uncertainty as to whether tariffs will be introduced on gold and silver has already left visible traces on the Comex in recent weeks. In addition, the price premium for gold on the Comex has widened significantly compared to the spot price in London.”

    Gold eased on Monday as the dollar held firm, while market participants remained cautious, watching for any potential Iranian retaliation to U.S. strikes on its nuclear sites.

    Spot gold was down 0.2% at $3,359.99 an ounce, as of 0820 GMT. U.S. gold futures fell 0.3% to $3,375.20.

    Higher energy prices could potentially delay a Fed rate cut and strengthen the dollar, said Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank.

    Spot silver rose 0.4% to $36.12 per ounce, platinum was up 2.3% at $1,293.90, while palladium gained 2.5% to $1,070.33
