Gold price at Rs 1.47 lakh/10g; silver gains Rs 5,000/kg as US jobs data cools inflation worries. What are experts saying?
Following the data, traders trimmed expectations of a September rate hike. The CME FedWatch Tool now indicates a roughly 54% probability of a rate increase, down from 66% before the payrolls report.
Higher interest rates typically reduce the appeal of non-yielding assets such as gold by increasing the attractiveness of interest-bearing investments.
Bullion was also on track for a weekly gain of 2.3%, its first since the week of May 25. The rally came after softer-than-expected U.S. nonfarm payrolls and private payrolls data eased concerns over persistent inflation and the prospect of interest rates staying higher for longer.
In the international market, Spot gold rose 1.4% to $4,179.94 an ounce after touching its highest level since June 23. U.S. gold futures for August delivery gained 1.6% to $4,193.20 an ounce. Among other precious metals, spot silver gained 2.3% to $62.43 an ounce.
