Gold price – Is it right time to buy or book profits?
According to Jateen Trivedi, VP Research Analyst – Commodity and Currency, LKP Securities, Gold traded weak by ₹400 at ₹1,00,780 as Comex gold faced resistance near the $3370–$3375 zone, while the rupee holding firm around 87.80 added slight pressure to domestic prices.
“ Market participants are watching Manufacturing PMI numbers, but the primary focus remains on trade tariff developments, with the U.S. looking to recalibrate tariffs in its favor. Despite the short-term dip, gold continues to price in the broader impact of trade tariff uncertainty and dollar weakness, keeping the overall trend supported. Gold is expected to trade in a volatile range of ₹99,000– ₹1,01,500,” Trivedi said.
