Key Drivers Behind the Gold Rate Surge in Bangalore

  1. Gold prices touched monthly highs, prompting local buyers to hold back, increasing gold discounts across India. In contrast, other Asian countries saw heightened demand ahead of the Lunar New Year, as reported by Reuters.
  2. Investors turned to gold as a safe haven due to growing economic uncertainty. Anticipation around new U.S. policies and geopolitical shifts fueled this trend.
  3. According to Reuters, the U.S. dollar strengthened while stock futures declined sharply after recent jobs data. The data also impacted interest rate expectations, with markets predicting a smaller rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve this year.
  4. Investors are keenly awaiting key U.S. economic data, including inflation, retail sales, and jobless claims, which will likely shape gold prices further in the coming weeks.

Market Outlook for Gold Prices (Next Week)

The gold market outlook for the coming week remains cautiously bullish, with traders closely monitoring U.S. economic data. According to a report from FXEmpire, stronger-than-expected job numbers could cap gold's rally by reducing expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts in 2025. Conversely, weaker data could drive gold prices toward the USD 2,700 mark, as it would signal a less aggressive Fed approach. Short-term profit-taking is likely if payroll data surprises positively, while weaker figures may extend the current bullish momentum. Overall, breaking key resistance levels will be crucial for sustaining the rally. the report Further stated
