Gold prices faced significant pressure last week, with international rates falling below the $4,000-per-ounce mark for the first time since mid-July. Silver prices also remain an important focus for buyers tracking precious metal rates across India.
According to Reuters, spot gold declined 0.6% to $3,998.35 per ounce by 1520 GMT, after touching an intraday low of $3,975.23. US gold futures for December delivery settled 1.3% lower at $4,007.90 per ounce.
Higher energy prices linked to the conflict in the Middle East, renewed inflation concerns and expectations that the US Federal Reserve may not cut interest rates immediately contributed to the pressure on gold, Reuters reported.
Gold Prices Under Pressure After Weekly Decline
Gold futures on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) recorded a substantial decline during the week. Prices fell around 3.50%, while Friday’s session alone saw futures drop 0.92%, or ₹1,315, to settle at approximately ₹1,41,994 per 10 grams.
The metal recorded a weekly fall of around 4%, marking its weakest weekly performance since June. These movements highlight how international economic conditions, energy prices and expectations about interest rates can influence precious metal markets.
