Gold Extends Decline As Global Prices Stay Weak
Gold has remained under pressure for several sessions amid a stronger US dollar and expectations that interest rates could stay elevated for longer. In the previous trading session, the All India Sarafa Association reported that 99.9 per cent pure gold fell by Rs 2,800 to Rs 1,45,300 per 10 grams, down from Rs 1,48,100. Overseas markets mirrored the weakness, with spot gold falling below the $4,000 per ounce mark for the first time since November 2025. The metal dropped by $21.15, or 0.53 per cent, to $3,978.06 per ounce.
MCX futures, however, witnessed a modest recovery on Thursday. The August contract climbed Rs 405, or 0.29 per cent, to Rs 1,41,675 per 10 grams after ending the previous session at Rs 1,41,270, a decline of Rs 5,259, or 3.6 per cent.
Experts Explain Why Gold Prices Are Falling
Market experts believe that investors are moving funds toward the US dollar, reducing demand for precious metals.
According to news agency PTI, Saumil Gandhi, Senior Analyst (Commodities) at HDFC Securities, said that gold prices fell in the domestic markets on Thursday as a strong dollar and the possibility of high interest rates persisting for a long time kept pressure on precious metals.
According to news agency PTI, Praveen Singh, head of commodities at Mirae Asset Sharekhan, said spot gold was trading at $3,980 per ounce in the overseas market. The multi-year rally in precious metals has suddenly declined significantly, forcing some Chinese banks to reduce their services related to retail gold trading. Investors are also awaiting new US economic data, which may shape expectations regarding interest rates and currency markets.
