Why Gold Prices are falling?
In the last two days, precious metal prices have come under pressure, globally. According to industry analysts, the reason for decline in gold price is the sentiment created in the US about delay in impending interest rate cut cycle by the Federal Reserve.
According to Saumil Gandhi, Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, Gold has come under pressure because of latest hawkish comments made by a Federal Reserve policymaker. He said, ‘His comments have dashed investors’ hopes of Fed’s impending shift to monetary policy easing.’
According to Retuers, Fed Governor Michelle Bowman had on Wednesday reiterated her baseline view that “inflation will decline further with the policy rate held steady,” and that rate cuts will “eventually” be appropriate if inflation does move sustainably toward 2%. As per latest data, US inflation was reported to be at 3.4 per cent in May 2024.
Historically, Gold has shared an inverse relationship with interest rates. Generally, it is seen that gold prices have increased when interest rates are slashed and yellow metal prices moderate when interest rates are hiked.
Why you should invest in PPF on 5th of every month?
According to Gandhi, the second gold price fall reason is uptick in US dollars. On Thursday, US dollar’s value against Rupees was up 0.11 per cent as compared to the day before. At 10 am on Thursday 1 US dollar was equivalent to Rs 83.52. The dollar currently is hovering near a eight-week high; this has made bullion more expensive for other currency holders.
