Gold prices in Delhi today, January 17, surged after the yellow metal saw a decline in the last two days. Although the current gold rate in India is still slightly below the all-time high recorded last week, any further upward movement could set a new record in the bullion market.
The last two days of dip of around Rs. 5500 per 10 grams allowed ritual and retail gold buyers, who rushed to make purchases. This rise in demand has significantly contributed to the rebound in gold prices in Delhi and across India.
Meanwhile, spot gold also surged in the international market before closing on Friday. Traders and investors are now eyeing the U.S. Federal Reserve meeting scheduled later this month.

Spot Gold and Spot Silver Rates
As per Trading Economics, “Gold prices dropped around 1% toward $4,560 per ounce on Friday, extending the previous session’s losses as safe-haven demand cooled and expectations for near-term interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve continued to fade.”
Gold Price Target and Analysis
“Gold traded below $4,600 as profit-taking, strong US labour data, and easing political risk reduced near-term safe-haven demand, despite softer inflation data keeping expectations of multiple Fed rate cuts later this year intact. On the technical front, MCX Gold continues to remain in an uptrend on both the daily and weekly charts. The structure is bullish, and momentum remains strong. However, there are no signs of any major weakness on the daily chart. Currently, support is placed at 142,150, while resistance is seen at 144,350 and 147,600. Traders can buy MCX Gold at the current market price and on dips towards 142,150 for a target of 144,350-147,600. Any sustained weakness below 140,200 should be considered as a stop-loss for the current view.” According to the Way To Wealth Commodity Report.
