Gold rates in India are likely to find some support on July 15 after US dollar erased 101 mark and US CPI inflation dropped for the first time in five months. On Wednesday, 24 carat, 22 carat and 18 carat gold prices are down by Rs 10 each in 10 grams and lower by Rs 100 each in 100 grams. The rate of 10 grams gold is currently at Rs 1,42,790 in 24 carat, at Rs 1,30,890 in 22 carat and at Rs 1,07,090 in 18 carat.

"Despite the bounce, overall sentiment remains cautious as higher crude oil prices and a firm US dollar continue to cap upside in bullion," said Jateen Trivedi, VP Research Analyst - Commodity and Currency, LKP Securities.

He also added, "A stronger-than-expected inflation reading could reinforce the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance, strengthening the dollar and pressuring gold further, while softer inflation may provide support by increasing expectations of steady interest rates. In the near term, gold is expected to remain highly volatile ahead of the inflation data."

Meanwhile, US dollar weakened further to trade below 101 mark after the US CPI inflation, which will offer support to gold and silver.

The annual US inflation rate eased to 3.5% in June from 4.2% in May, coming in below forecasts of 3.8% as lower oil prices helped moderate energy inflation. Consumer prices also fell 0.4% from the previous month, registering their first monthly decline since 2020. Meanwhile, Fed Chair Kevin Warsh reiterated the central bank's commitment to restoring price stability during congressional testimony on Tuesday but stopped short of signaling a more hawkish policy stance. Markets continue to price in roughly a 50% chance of a Fed rate hike in September, as renewed tensions between the US and Iran lifted oil prices and kept inflationary pressures in focus, as per Trading Economics.
