Impact of Global Events on Gold Prices

According to Marex analyst Edward Meir, gold prices are currently influenced by developments in the Middle East, with expectations that diplomatic discussions may take place between the involved nations. He noted, “If negotiations fail, we might see a return to previous trends of declining gold prices, a stronger dollar, and falling equity markets.” Market expert Anuj Gupta mentioned that COMEX gold is trading between $4,800 and $4,900 per ounce, while MCX gold is fluctuating between Rs 1,52,000 and Rs 1,56,000 per 10 grams.
