India’s Gold Prices

In India, gold continues to glitter as prices mirror global trends. The 24-karat gold traded at Rs.12,889 per gram, 22-karat at Rs.11,815 per gram, and 18-karat (999 gold) at Rs.9,697 per gram (for 10 grams). The metal has gained nearly 4.7% in just three days, reflecting investors’ growing faith in gold as a stable store of value.

Fed Rate Cut Expectations

Market analysts attribute the latest rally to the U.S. Federal Reserve’s dovish stance. Fed Chair Jerome Powell signaled flexibility in upcoming rate decisions amid subdued labor market conditions. Investors are now pricing in a 25-basis-point rate cut each in October and December, further boosting gold’s attractiveness.

According to Matt Simpson of StoneX, “The U.S. government shutdown and Powell’s dovish comments have provided fresh momentum for gold’s rally.”

Geopolitical Tensions Support Rally

Tensions between the U.S. and China are adding to gold’s safe-haven demand. President Donald Trump’s remarks about new trade restrictions, combined with mutual port fees imposed by both nations, have heightened global uncertainty — a scenario that typically drives investors toward gold.

India’s Market Outlook

Back home, experts forecast a strong trading range for gold. Jateen Trivedi, VP – Research Analyst at LKP Securities, expects gold to remain between Rs.1.24 lakh and Rs.1.27 lakh per 10 grams, maintaining a “positive bias.”

With rising festive demand and global cues, Indian gold prices are likely to stay firm in the coming weeks.

Gold’s Long-Term Strength

Experts emphasize that gold remains a reliable long-term investment. Anooshka Soham Bathwal, Founder & CEO of Dhanvesttor, noted, “Gold offers low volatility, strong liquidity, and acts as a hedge during inflation or macroeconomic uncertainty. Its ability to preserve wealth across generations makes it a symbol of financial security, especially for women investors.”

Outlook for Investors

So far in 2025, gold has soared 59% year-to-date, fueled by central bank buying, ETF inflows, and de-dollarisation trends. With global instability and cautious monetary policies, analysts believe gold will continue to shine as a preferred asset for stability and protection.
