Gold Price Today: On the Multi-Commodity Exchange (MCX), the future gold contracts were trading higher by 0.61 percent at Rs 50,680 for 10 grams while silver was trading lower by 0.56% percent to Rs 55,100 a kilogram at 10:45 am on Saturday.
As a pullback in US Treasury yields and the dollar’s decline strengthened the safe-haven appeal of non-yielding bullion as economic risks remained, the yellow metal headed for its first weekly gain in six on Friday.
Spot gold rose 0.2% to $1,721.29 per ounce by 2:21 p.m. EDT (1821 GMT). It was up about 1% so far this week, following a strong rebound from a more than one-year low of $1,680.25 on Thursday. Whereas spot silver fell 1.7% to $18.53 per ounce, bound for its eight straight weekly decline.
U.S. gold futures settled 0.8% higher at $1,727.4.
“Assuming the Fed hikes by 75 bps in July, we believe the bulk of the near-term downside risk has been priced in; but the longer-term trend is still to the downside,” Standard Chartered analyst Suki Cooper said in a note.
But gold could also find support from a price-responsive physical market and if recession risks deepen, Cooper added.
