Gold Price Today: Yellow metal subdued on marginal pressure from high dollar index – check prices in metro cities

Gold Price Today: The yellow metal remained subdued on Monday in a choppy trade as weakness in Treasury yields kept prices unchanged and marginally outweighed pressure stemming from elevated US dollar levels.

In Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata, 10 gram of 24-carat gold is trading at Rs 52,340. On the other hand, ten gram of 22-carat gold is selling at Rs 48,000 in Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata.

Bullion prices hit a five-month low of $1,783.50 on Friday but recovered to end the session nearly steady, according to a Reuters report. The report said Benchmark US 10-year Treasury yields fell to their lowest level in a month on Friday, buoying non-yielding bullion. 

The dollar hovered close to recent two-decade highs, continuing to make greenback-priced gold less attractive for buyers holding other currencies, after playing a significant part in bullion`s worst quarterly showing in over a year.  

Asian equities started cautiously on Monday as a run of soft US data suggested downside risks for this week`s June payrolls report, while the hubbub over recession was still driving a relief rally in government bonds.
