Why Gold Prices Rose Recently
Gold prices saw an uptick in the previous session due to continued uncertainty around the ceasefire and a softer US dollar. In Delhi’s bullion market, gold climbed to Rs 1.55 lakh per 10 grams, marking a strong weekly performance.
According to the All India Sarafa Association, 24K gold rose by Rs 400 to Rs 1,55,300 per 10 grams. Over the week, gold prices surged by Rs 3,800 or 2.51%.
Globally, spot gold also gained, rising $11.52 (0.24%) to $4,777.17 per ounce.
Futures Market Sees Some Weakness
Despite gains in spot prices, gold futures declined in the previous session due to weak demand and traders trimming positions. MCX gold contracts for June delivery fell by Rs 1,363 (0.89%) to Rs 1,52,071 per 10 grams.
Internationally, gold prices in New York also slipped by 0.48% to $4,743.99 per ounce.
What Experts Say
Market experts believe that cautious sentiment around the Iran conflict and continued buying by central banks have supported gold prices.
Reneesha Chainani, Head of Research at Augmont, noted that a cautious stance on geopolitical tensions has helped bullion prices recover.
Jigar Trivedi, Senior Research Analyst at IndusInd Securities, said that the US-Iran ceasefire has led to a sharp fall in oil prices, easing inflation concerns and reducing expectations of aggressive rate hikes. This has helped gold remain stable above $4,700 per ounce and continue its upward trend for the third consecutive week.
He also added that a softer US dollar—traditionally a safe-haven asset—has further supported positive sentiment in the gold market.
Analysts say gold prices may remain volatile in the near term due to mixed global cues. While geopolitical tensions and central bank buying provide support, weak global trends and profit booking could limit further gains in futures markets.
