In the international market, spot gold slipped to $ 4,989.65 per ounce, indicating mild global pressure on prices.

Expert Weigh In
“The recent volatility in the precious metals market is largely attributed to investor sentiment ahead of the US Federal Reserve’s upcoming policy decision, which has created a cautious atmosphere, especially amid rising inflation concerns linked to high oil prices stemming from geopolitical tensions in the Middle East,” said Gaurav Garg, Research Analyst at Lemonn Markets Desk.
