Reasons for recovery in prices
Earlier, the gold prices declined mainly due to the US nonfarm payroll report and China slowing down gold buying.
According to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday, the labor market added 272,000 nonfarm payroll jobs in May, higher than the expected 180,000.
Moreover, the dip in gold rates in Hyderabad and globally was attributed to a decline in China’s gold buying.
However, now, as investors believe that a Fed rate hike, which was talked about a few weeks ago, has been ruled out, gold prices have started recovering.
Despite the ruling out of a Fed rate hike, the chances of a rate cut are also slim as inflation remains sticky.
The future trend of gold rates will depend on various factors, including the decision on the Fed rate cut, the Russia-Ukraine war, and stability in the Middle East.
