Gold Prices Likely to Rise in India Due to Israel-Hamas Conflict and Festive Season Demand, Though Fed Tightening May Limit Upside
-
Gold prices may increase further due to the Israel-Hamas war as investor sentiment and oil prices play a big role.
-
Gold has regained its safe-haven status following the escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict.
-
Higher oil prices may spur inflation pressure in India and weaken the Rupee, making gold more attractive as an investment hedge.
-
Festive season demand may also push gold prices up in India.
-
However, US economic data indicates the Fed will continue tightening, keeping bond yields and upside on gold prices capped.
