Gold prices in India were unchanged on Sunday, November 17, with 24K of 10 grams at Rs 75,650. Silver prices also followed a similar trend and stood at Rs 89,500 for 1 kg. Gold prices across major cities also were firm. Gold and silver both have consolidated significantly since the US Election in 2024 when Donald Trump returned to the White House. The reason is due to a sharp surge in dollar and treasury yields, as investors' expectation of an aggressive rate cut from the Federal Reserve has dulled down.

Gold, Silver Prices Last Week:
According to SMC Global Securities, the commodities market witnessed a notable decline last week, mainly due to a surge in the U.S. dollar index driven by optimism surrounding Trump-era policies, which closed around the 335 level. Gold faced a sharp drop, breaking the $2600 level, marking a decline of over $235 in the past three weeks from its record high. On MCX, it saw a decline of more than 3000 points within a single week despite in-line US inflation data supporting bets for a December Federal Reserve rate cut.

MCX gold price is at Rs 74,031 per 10 grams. The bullion is of December expiry. While MCX silver with December expiry is at Rs 88,505 per 1kg.
Spot Gold, US Gold Futures:
Gold prices fell to a two-month low on Thursday, pressured by a strong dollar rally, though traders have not lost confidence in a December rate cut following the latest U.S. economic data, as per Reuters report. Spot gold fell to $2,561.24 per ounce, touching its lowest level since Sept. 12. U.S. gold futures were down to $2,570.10 per ounce.
Giving an outlook ahead, Forex.com analyst Fawad Razaqzada told Reuters in a note that gold could benefit if Powell avoids directly linking potential policy shifts to the Fed's decisions, as this could dampen U.S. rate expectations.
Last week, US Federal Reserve's chair Jerome Powell signalled that there was no hurry in cutting rates as strong US economic growth is going to allow FOMC to take its time in deciding how far and how fast key federal fund rates could be lowered.
In his speech to business leaders in Dallas, on Thursday, Powell said that the current state of the economy is not sending any signals that the US central bank needs to be in a hurry to lower rates.
