As the dollar dropped on Tuesday and investors awaited US economic data in the expectation that the Federal Reserve would raise interest rates more gradually, gold prices moved up on the world markets. The yellow metal continued to experience an upsurge in the session after the previous week’s close, finishing with 0.25 percent gains. Investors are anticipating slower interest rate increases from the Federal Reserve as a result of the U.S. fourth-quarter GDP growth estimates data.
The Fed is anticipated to boost rates by 25 basis points at its forthcoming policy meeting after slowing the pace to 50 basis points in December following four straight 75-bps increases. We anticipate that gold will trade higher toward the Rs 56,990 level and that if this barrier is broken, the price will rise to the Rs 57,130 level.
