Tapering indicates a slow down in asset purchases or reducing the volume of bond-buying by a central bank, in an economy. The bond-buying program is called quantitative easing (QE) which is given in an economy to infuse more liquidity when needed. On the other hand, tapering of bond-buying essentially comes after the QE program. The US Fed thinks that this is the time when the US is recovering from the effects of the pandemic and they have decided to start tapering slowly.
So, the government bond yield is going to be more profitable and the US Dollar index is expected to increase. As gold is a dollar-dominated asset class, the gold rates will eventually drop to some extend. In India before Diwali, the gold prices are anticipated to ease.
