- The market feels that interest rates in America will stop rising now. This is a positive sign for gold.
- Investment in gold has started increasing due to falling bond yields, stoppage of rise in dollar and Israel-Palestine war.
The prices of gold and silver are likely to continue rising in the international and domestic markets as well. Anuj Gupta, Head of Commodity and Currency, HDFC Securities, said that bond yields are decreasing in the international market and the dollar is weakening.
Apart from this, demand for festivals will increase in the domestic market. After this the wedding season will start. In such a situation, increase in demand will affect the prices. Due to this, gold can go up to 60 thousand and silver up to 73 thousand by Diwali. This will continue to support gold.
