Gold futures on the MCX gain strong ground
Gold futures on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) gained strong ground over the past week, rising by Rs 3,160 or 2.42 per cent to close at record highs. Prices stayed firm after the US Federal Reserve announced interest rate cuts and liquidity support measures. However, the Fed also adopted a cautious approach, saying it would wait for more economic data before making further cuts. This led to heavy selling in US Treasury bonds and weakened the dollar, which supported gold prices.
At the same time, rising geopolitical tensions between the US and Venezuela increased demand for gold as a safe-haven asset. Concerns over the possible unwinding of yen carry trades, ahead of the Bank of Japan’s expected 25-basis-point rate hike on December 18, also added to gold’s appeal. On Friday, MCX gold touched an all-time high of Rs 1,35,263 per 10 grams, supported by a softer dollar and strong investor buying interest.
