Expert Insights


As reported by a news agency, Renisha Chainani, the research head at Augmont, indicated that the ongoing tensions regarding Iran and persistent purchases by central banks have bolstered gold prices. Jigar Trivedi, a senior research analyst at IndusInd Securities, noted that the ceasefire between the US and Iran has led to a decrease in oil prices, alleviating inflation concerns and the prospect of rising interest rates. Consequently, gold has remained stable above $4,700 per ounce, marking a gain for three consecutive weeks. Additionally, the weakening dollar, often viewed as a safe haven during crises, has further increased gold demand. However, the overall weakness in global markets has resulted in some decline in futures prices.
