They said that signs of de-escalation in the US-Iran war have led to a sharp sell-off in the WTI crude oil prices. The COMEX crude oil price, which touched $100 per barrel on Monday, has been under pressure, falling to an intraday low of $86.60 per barrel. This has eased the inflation concerns, which fueled value buying after the US Fed rate cut trigger.
What is fueling the gold price today?
Highlighting the reasons for the bull trend in bullion, Hareesh V, Head of Commodity Research at Geojit Investments Limited, said that gold’s nearly 4% surge on MCX and silver’s sharp rebound were driven by a softer US dollar and easing inflation concerns, as crude oil prices corrected.
“The pullback in energy markets helped temper expectations of higher global interest rates, offering additional support to precious metals. Meanwhile, reports suggesting the US is exploring ways to end the conflict with Iran boosted safe‑haven demand, amplifying bullion’s upside momentum today,” Hareesh V of Geojit Investments Limited said.
Gold rate today: Key levels you should know
Speaking on the outlook of the COMEX gold rate today, Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, said the COMEX gold rate today opened on a steady note, trading above key short-term moving averages, with prices currently hovering within the $4,500–$4,600 band. The overall structure is showing signs of recovery, supported by persistent geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which continue to drive safe-haven demand and provide a strong underlying cushion to prices.
“On the upside, the $4,670–$4,750 range remains an important resistance band. A sustained move above $4,750 could extend the prices toward $4,850, where stronger supply pressure may emerge. On the downside, a break below $4,500 may accelerate weakness toward the $4,360–$4,400 level. Overall, the structure remains cautiously positive as long as prices continue to trade above key support levels,” the Enrich Money CEO said.
Outlook for the gold rate today in India
The Enrich Money expert said the MCX gold rate is currently trading in the ₹1,43,000 to ₹1,45,000 resistance band, indicating underlying buying interest despite some intraday volatility. Price action suggests resilience at higher levels, keeping the broader tone constructive. On the upside, the ₹1,48,000 zone remains the immediate resistance area. A sustained move above this level would strengthen bullish momentum and may open the path toward ₹1,55,000 to ₹1,57,000, where supply pressure is likely to emerge.
Ponmudi R of Enrich Money said that immediate support for gold prices today in India is at ₹1,37,000 to ₹1,40,000. A breach below this level could trigger extended profit booking and drag prices toward the ₹1,30,000 to ₹1,32,000 band.
“Overall, the near-term bias remains buy-on-dips, supported by underlying strength in prices, with macro uncertainty and geopolitical developments expected to continue driving momentum,” the Enrich Money CEO said.
However, Geojit Investments’ expert believes that gold’s upside today seems driven by value buying after recent sharp corrections, with attractive entry levels triggering renewed demand alongside short covering that lifted prices further.
“Gold and silver may see a mild near‑term recovery, but breaking recent highs looks difficult. While supportive geopolitics could underpin sentiment, a firm US dollar is likely to cap strong upside, keeping price movements relatively restrained for now,” said Hareesh V of Geojit Investments.
