Gold Prices May Trade At Rs 61,000 To Rs 62,000 Per 10 Grams

Gold prices have risen almost 7-8% in the past month. The rally in the yellow metal is primarily due to the banking crisis in the west. The liquidity infused by the central banks and the expectations of lower to no rate hikes is pushing gold prices up. Gold is a safe haven, historically it has gained in periods of uncertainty.

Gold prices hitting a fresh high is a sign of slower economic growth and lower interest rates with ample liquidity to help the system steer of the current situation.

The current situation globally may take some time to clear out. Globally, central banks have been adding gold reserves. The onset of the festive season in India starting from Gudi Padva will support demand at the retail level. We expect gold to gain further and touch new highs in the next few months. Domestically, it is expected to trade in the range of Rs 61,000-62,000/ 10gm. Internationally, it may scale levels of $2,050-2100/oz.
