He said that the previous week’s fall in bullion prices were line with the expectations.
Inflation continues to be a pain point and there is an expectation of the US Federal Reserve hiking the interest rates in the next round of its policy meeting, Gupta said. This is putting significant pressure on bullion, he reasoned.
Strength in Dollar Index is taking sheen away from the yellow metal despite fear of recession raising its head, the VP said. Gold is considered as a haven during uncertainties.
