However, according to reports, "US CPI data could throw a spanner in the works later in the session." Ahead of the US CPI data, the market started quite volatile this morning and positive expectations are dragging the gold prices down in the global markets. Again, the US Fed is discussing a reduction in the bond-buying scale, so the gold rates are not giving much hope. On the other hand, US equities investors are aiding the US stock market before CPI data release, hence today the gold market is down a bit.

Daily gold rates in India are fixed by the Indian Bullion Jewellers Association (IBJA) daily, and the association is keeping a close eye on the US CPI data now to anticipate the upcoming market trend.
