On Thursday, Gold gained as the dollar and Treasury yields slipped after U.S. consumer price data suggested inflation might have peaked in April, allaying some concerns of more aggressive US Federal Reserve rate hikes, Reuters reported.
The yellow metal resumed its climb on Wednesday after a knee-jerk retreat tied to the release of US inflation data, as the dollar slipped with investors latching on to a slight cooling of consumer prices, another report said.
Gupta said that the ongoing geo-political tension will keep commodity prices on the edge and strengthen the USD against the Indian Rupee and other currencies.
A stronger Dollar does not augur well for bullion he said. However, a weaker Rupee could potentially make imports costly for domestic consumption.
He said that price of 24 Carat Gold in Delhi is around Rs 51,800 and price of 22 Carat gold is around 51000. Meanwhile, Silver is available around Rs 63500.
