GEOPOLITICAL CALM CAPS GOLD GAINS DESPITE WEAKER DOLLAR
Published on Jul 02, 2025 14:58
Gold futures held within a tight $20 range as traders weighed a weaker US dollar against fading safe-haven demand. The greenback slipped to a 3.5-year low near 96, pressured by fiscal worries and dovish Fed expectations. However, easing geopolitical tensions, following a proposed 60-day Gaza ceasefire, curbed gold�s upward momentum. On MCX, August contracts were flat at ₹97269 per 10 grams. Despite supportive macro undercurrents, lack of fresh triggers and holiday-thinned trading kept volatility muted. All eyes now turn to Thursday�s US payrolls data for direction, with markets seeking clarity on the Fed�s next rate stance amid mixed economic signals.
