Gold Price Outlook On July 16:
"Gold prices stayed in a narrow range of Rs 97,750-Rs 98,050 as Comex gold traded positive near $3365 with a $20 rise. Continued tariff escalations by the US on global partners have kept uncertainty high, supporting safe-haven buying in gold. With US CPI data scheduled this week, traders remain cautious. Overall, gold is expected to remain volatile within the Rs 97,500-Rs98,500 range," said Jateen Trivedi, VP Research Analyst - Commodity and Currency, LKP Securities.
Further, Manav Modi, Senior Analyst, Commodity Research at Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd said, U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to impose a 30% tariff on imports from Mexico and the European Union starting on August 1, after weeks of negotiations with the major U.S. trading partners failed to reach a trade deal. President Trump renewed his attacks on Fed Chair Jerome Powell, saying interest rates should be at 1% or lower. Markets are pricing in 50 bps of rate cuts by year-end, with the first reduction expected in September.
Meanwhile, along with domestic ETF flows, industrial demand, Modi added, "a catch-up rally post gold move since start of this year and up-move in industrial metals are some factors supporting the overall rally in Silver. After an all-time high, we could see some profit booking, also economic data from China has been reported lower than expectations weighing on industrial metals including Silver. Focus now shifts to US CPI, PPI, Retail sales and Industrial production data."
US CPI inflation rate jumped for the second consecutive month to 2.7% in June 2025, also recording its highest climb since February. Inflation was pushed up due to a spike in the cost of some goods. Additionally, the latest print suggests that the US tariff impacts have likely begun to unfold.
Spot Gold Price:
Gold prices hovered around $3,350 per ounce on Tuesday, trimming gains from earlier in the session but holding their strong momentum since retesting record highs throughout the second quarter amid uncertainty from tariffs and strong central bank buying. US President Trump sent a notification to 25 countries of new tariff rates set to take effect on August 1st, including major trading partners Canada, Mexico, and the EU, while making a political appeal by imposing tariffs on Brazil. Uncertainty regarding US economic policy continued to hamper the US dollar, driving central banks to increase their gold reserves instead of piling into the usual Treasury securities, as per Trading Economics.
