Gold Price Outlook On July 22:
In Trivedi's view, participants will keenly track Fed Chair Powell's upcoming speech for further cues on policy direction. Additionally, trade tariff uncertainties continue to lend support to bullion.
"Gold is likely to remain elevated with a price range seen between Rs 97,550-Rs 99,500 in the near term," he said.
Also, Hareesh V, Head of Commodity Research, Geojit Investments Limited, said, "The US President Trump's remarks helped to ease investor concerns over Powell's possible removal as Fed Chair, assisted the US currency, making gold expensive for overseas currencies. The US CPI data, also released last week, indicated rising inflation, but it was in line with expectations. This may lead the US Fed to keep rates unchanged at least for the next couple of months, which will also affected the price of the yellow metal."
Geojit's analyst added, "The most active MCX August futures contract traded inside Rs 98450-96829 per 10 grams while prices at the key London spot prices congested inside $3374-3309 an ounce level."
Spot Gold Price:
Gold prices surged past $3,390 per ounce, reaching their highest level since mid-June, as a weakening US dollar and falling Treasury yields fueled safe-haven demand amid mounting trade tensions, as per Trading Economics data.
The data added on the monetary policy front, traders are pricing in around a 60% chance of a Fed rate cut in September, amid growing speculation over potential leadership changes at the Federal Reserve and a broader reshaping of the institution.
