Gold Prices Under Pressure: Is The Recent Rise A Real Recovery? Here’s What Is Supporting Indian Gold From Falling

Recently, Gold prices have seen a major fall from the wall as Humpty Dumpty. The major fallback reported was due to the global hits it has seen. But today, there has been little upward trend in the prices of gold.

This is the nature of the precious metal. The prices are trying to bounce back after a scary fall. The financial experts are questioning whether this is a real recovery or just a little slow walk. The recovery is shown in numbers.

  • International spot gold: Around $4,400 per ounce
  • Recent low: Fell below $4,380 per ounce
  • India’s 24K gold: Around ₹1.54 lakh-₹1.55 lakh per 10 grams

According to gold experts, this small rise is looking appealing from the POV of investors. Although the rise is glittering, one should not fall in the trap right away. According to trends, the US jobs data is still pushing the Gold price under pressure. The other possible upcoming pushback will be crude oil prices and the assumption of interest rates.

This could be a temporary rise in gold, but the volatility of Gold prices is unexpected. Everyone is watching the trends.

Why Is Gold price Under Pressure? 

Strong US Jobs Data: Strong US jobs data is putting pressure on Gold prices. The US added 162,000 jobs, much more than expected. Strong employment may reduce hopes of interest-rate cuts. Higher rates can make gold less attractive because it does not pay interest.

Rising Oil Prices Add to Inflation Fears: Tensions between the US and Iran have pushed oil prices higher. Usually, conflicts increase gold demand as a safe-haven asset. But expensive oil can raise inflation. This may keep interest rates high, strengthen the dollar and put pressure on gold.

How Is India Resisting The Gold price Fall?

Gold prices in India are showing strength even as global prices remain under pressure. Although the festive season is here and the falling Gold price is happy news for customers, globally, there is pressure on the precious metal.

On the MCX, gold is facing resistance at ₹1,53,300-₹1,54,100. But why is Indian gold refusing to fall easily? The answer lies partly in the weak Indian rupee. Since gold is traded globally in US dollars, a weaker rupee makes imported gold more expensive in India. This helps support domestic prices and slows their fall. For now, investors are keeping a close eye on the ₹1,51,500-₹1,52,000 support zone.
