Gold rates in India are under pressure on April 29, as MCX gold price falls below Rs 1.50 lakh per 10 grams mark. The downside is limited and the market sentiment is broadly volatile. Silver rates in India are also struggling at MCX but with mild gains. MCX silver is trading a little above Rs 2.43 lakh per 1Kg mark. The performance follows movement in the international prices, where spot gold is below $4,600 per ounce and spot silver is below 74 per ounce.
However, spot silver is also trading higher by nearly 1%. The precious metals are volatile despite the decline in crude oil prices. This is because even when US WTI Crude Oil and Brent Crude prices plunged on April 29, they are still trading at a higher rate above the 99 and 111 marks.
In the latest development at Middle East, President Donald Trump stated that Iran called on the US to remove its naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, while the negotiations to end the conflict continue to be dangly. This has further escalated disruptions in the already tightening energy supplies from the Middle East.
Strait of Hornuz shutdown has already impacted 20% of global oil and gas supply. IEA described this as the largest supply shock on record and hence the inflationary pressures intensify.
Investors have increasingly priced in the possibility that central banks may keep interest rates elevated for longer or even tighten further, weighing on non-yielding bullion. Earlier this week, the BOJ left its policy rate unchanged, while central banks in the US, EU, the UK, and Canada are due to announce their decisions later this week, as per Trading Economics.
