Gold Rate Today: Comex gold prices stable above $2,500 as safe-haven demand from heightened geopolitical tensions in Middle East offsets caution ahead of key US data due this week, says Kotak Securities' Kaynat Chainwala
According to Kaynat Chainwala of Kotak Securities, investors are focusing on the upcoming US inflation data, which may provide more clarity on a potential soft landing and help shape the Fed’s monetary policy outlook.
Gold Rate Today: Downtick in inflation to act as silver lining for precious metals, says Axis Securities' Deveya Gaglani
Deveya Gaglani of Axis Securities points out that Monday's spike in MCX gold futures was driven by expectations of a rate cut as the yield curve continues to narrow ahead of crucial CPI data set to be released later this week.
"A downtick in the inflation data will act as a silver lining for precious metals, and we expect them to head higher. Additionally, ongoing geopolitical tensions continue to benefit the yellow metal because of its safe-have appeal... A breakout and weekly close above spot gold's lifetime high of $2,483 will be a bullish signal, potentially driving it towards $2,550. In MCX, we may expect a level of Rs 72,000 in the coming months," says Gaglani.

Monday's strong rebound in Comex prices (from $2,403 per ounce last week) to $2,476 per ounce was driven by a market rally, despite China’s central bank refraining from gold purchases for a third consecutive month, according to Kaynat Chainwala, AVP-Commodity Research, Kotak Securities.
"Gold prices were also bolstered by escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and speculation about nearly 100 basis points of rate cuts by the Fed by the end of the year... Today, Comex gold is holding steady above $2,465 per ounce ahead of US CPI and retail sales data due this week, which may provide fresh insights into consumer resilience," says Chainwala.
