| New Delhi | 65850 | 71820 |
| Kolkata | 65700 | 71670 |
| Mumbai | 65700 | 71670 |
| Hyderabad | 65700 | 71670 |
| Chennai | 66500 | 72550 |
Reasons for the decline in prices
The decline in the prices of gold can be attributed 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.
Following a robust nonfarm payroll report, the Fed rate cut expectations have been shifted from July to September, triggering a decline in gold prices.
Moreover, the dip in gold rates in Hyderabad and globally can be attributed to a decline in China’s gold buying. Last month, the country did not buy any gold.
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.
