The gold price saw an uptick in the morning today, with investors closely tracking Middle East developments, which supported higher crude oil prices and safe haven demand for gold. In overseas markets, spot gold was up 2.04 per cent to $4,181.55 per ounce, and silver gained 4.44 per cent to $66.76 an ounce. However, precious metals traded flat in domestic markets on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX). Gold futures of August delivery on MCX were quoting up by 0.53 per cent or Rs 795, at Rs 150,320 per 10 grams this morning, at the time of writing. Silver July was up by 0.94 per cent to Rs 243,720 per kg.
Gold prices see-sawed in trade on Thursday but moved up on a mix of global cues. According to market experts, traders are watching the crude oil prices, currency movement and also the geopolitical development that affects bullion prices. The Middle East tensions are driving up the oil prices, supporting the safe-haven appeal for the yellow metal. US President Donald Trump on Thursday voiced optimism over a possible settlement with Iran, helping temper concerns and allowing gold prices to bounce back from earlier losses. But this optimism is unlikely to last, and investors are waiting for real progress before taking on significant positions in the market.
