Vijay Valecha, chief investment officer at Century Financial, said precious metal prices have seen a steady uptick for the fourth consecutive day.
“The US dollar is encountering difficulties in gaining significant ground amid growing speculation about a forthcoming change in the Federal Reserve's policy stance. This, coupled with a subdued sentiment in equity markets, supports the safe-haven appeal of gold. However, an uptick in US Treasury bond yields is tempering further advances.
Market participants appear hesitant to adopt overly bullish positions on gold, opting to await further signals. This cautious stance may act as a restraint on gold's upward momentum, particularly with Fed Chair Jerome Powell's semi-annual congressional testimony scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday looming ahead,” he said.
