Why is the yellow metal under pressure?
Last month, gold rates dropped significantly following the announcement of a reduction in customs duty on the yellow metal.
However, after the decline, prices rebounded due to increased demand in the domestic market and favorable international conditions, particularly the expectation of a Federal Reserve rate cut.
As the anticipated 0.25 basis point rate cut by the Federal Reserve this month has already been factored into gold prices, further increases are possible if the rate cut exceeds expectations or if a dovish stance is signaled.
Additionally, the earlier price rise was driven by strong central bank purchases, which have now slowed down.
The future direction of gold rates in Hyderabad and other cities in India will largely depend on international factors, particularly Federal Reserve policies and geopolitical stability in Middle Eastern countries.
