Gold, silver rate today, December 18: The gold MCX futures contract with the expiry of February 05, 2025, was quoted for Rs 76,852 per 10 gm.
Gold and silver prices have fallen more than 2% compared to a week back investors are worried about the outcome of the Fed’s policy meeting.
“Gold prices weakened by $12 to settle at $2640 on Comex and dropped by Rs 350 to Rs 76,700 on MCX as the outcome of the Fed’s policy meeting prompted caution among market participants. Long positions were trimmed ahead of the year’s final policy announcement, with expectations that forward guidance on rate cuts may remain unclear. This lack of clarity weighed on sentiment, especially as the dollar index continued its upward momentum. In the near term, the weakness in gold is likely to persist, with a trading range seen between Rs 76,000 and Rs 77,250 on MCX,” said Jateen Trivedi, Vice President and Research Analyst of Commodity and Currency at LKP Securities.
