Recent movement in gold prices
On Friday, precious metals in the international market traded with solid gains as sentiment towards safe-haven assets improved after Iran announced the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The development eased oil prices and softened some inflation concerns.
At the same time, a weakening US dollar is also supporting the rally. The greenback slipped to 93.6 earlier, the lowest level in six weeks, making dollar-priced commodities, including bullion, more affordable for holders of other currencies. However, the US dollar index recovered slightly today, and is currently trading at 98.2, an increase of 0.05%.
Meanwhile, the yellow metal hit a record high above ₹180,000 in January this year, but prices have since eased from those levels, which is likely setting the stage for a lucrative entry point for investors looking to build positions.
