Global Gold Market Update
In the international market, spot gold eased slightly to around $4,328 per ounce, slipping from its recent record high of $4,354. Analysts attribute the pullback to profit booking after a sharp rally.
Gold sales globally saw a 35 percent year-on-year decline in November, largely due to elevated prices. However, experts believe gold remains attractive when interest rates soften, as lower yields reduce the appeal of bonds and cash holdings.
Rupee Strength Supports Domestic Prices
The Indian rupee strengthened to 90.689 against the US dollar, marking a 0.62 percent gain over the past week. A stronger rupee helps cushion domestic gold prices by reducing import costs, even when global rates remain elevated.
Outlook: What Investors Should Watch
Market participants are expected to keep a close eye on:
- Global interest rate signals
- US dollar movement
- Central bank gold buying trends
- Domestic demand during the wedding season
While short-term volatility may persist, gold continues to hold its ground as a preferred long-term hedge.
