Spot Gold Price:

As per Trading Economics, spot gold rose toward $2,870 per ounce on Friday, climbing back to record highs and heading for its sixth consecutive weekly gain. The metal has repeatedly set new records this week, driven by increased safe-haven demand amid global trade tensions and economic uncertainties. President Trump postponed tariffs on Mexico and Canada early in the week, but imposed a 10% levy on all Chinese imports, prompting Beijing to announce retaliatory tariffs on US energy goods, effective next week.

Further, Trading Economics data highlighted that adding to uncertainty, Trump also suggested that the US take control of the Gaza Strip for reconstruction. Loose monetary policies by major central banks also provided additional support, with the ECB, BoE, and BoC cutting rates, and the latter also ending quantitative tightening. The RBI is expected to implement rate cuts this week. Markets are also pricing in two 25bps rate cuts from the Fed this year, with attention focused on the jobs report later today for further insights into the labour market.

Jateen Trivedi, VP Research Analyst - Commodity and Currency, LKP Securities said, gold traded sideways with minor weakness, hovering around ₹84,450 in MCX, while Comex gold saw a slight retracement towards $2,850.

Market participants remain focused on the upcoming RBI policy and the U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls and Unemployment data scheduled for release on Friday.

Trivedi added, that the rupee movement and Comex gold trends will play a crucial role in determining the next price action for gold. The gold range is seen between 84000-85000.
