Why Gold Prices Are Falling
Analysts say that the recent fall in gold prices is largely due to the strengthening US dollar and rising crude oil prices, which have raised concerns about inflation. This has reduced expectations of interest rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve in 2026.
Market participants are also awaiting the Federal Reserve’s upcoming policy meeting, which could influence the direction of global gold prices.
According to Jateen Trivedi, VP Research Analyst at LKP Securities, gold prices are currently moving in a volatile but range-bound pattern.
“Technically, support for MCX gold is seen near ₹1,58,000, while resistance remains around ₹1,61,500, keeping the market in a volatile but range-bound structure ahead of the policy outcome,” he said.
With global economic cues and central bank policies expected to influence the bullion market in the coming weeks, investors are likely to remain cautious in the near term.
