According to commodity experts, the yellow metal is expected to remain investors' haven on the fear created over a possible second wave of Coronavirus, weak US economic outlook by the Federal Reserve and sliding rupee against the US dollar. They said that the precious metal is expected to hit Rs 50,000 per 10 gm mark in the next one and half months to two months as these triggers are expected to remain in this period.

Speaking on the gold price outlook Amit Sajeja, Associate Vice President at Motilal Oswal said, "Rupee has fallen sharply against the US dollar in the last one week and it may soon hit 77 per dollar levels that is enough to fuel gold price up to Rs 48,000 per 10 gm in immediate term. Apart from this, escalating China-India border tension, Fed outlook for weak US economy will continue to support gold price rally.' Sajeja said that in the medium term (next two months) gold price is expected to hit Rs 50,000 per 10 gm.
