Gold price prediction: Meltdown as prices fall by Rs 600/10 gram amid profit booking. Can bulls stage a comeback?
Gold prices fell on Friday as investors took refuge in the greenback amid growing tensions between Israel and Iran. Moreover, a status quo on the US interest rate has helped the dollar index (DXY) strengthen, reducing some appeal in the yellow metal. The domestic gold prices fell sharply taking cues from the international prices. Gold rate today On the MCX, the August Gold futures were trading at Rs 98,664, down by Rs 665 or 0.67% from the Thursday closing price. Meanwhile, gold contracts on the COMEX were hovering around $3,367.20 per troy ounce, plunging by $40.90 or 1.20%. The movement in gold rates are inversely related to the dollar movement. When the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates, the returns on dollar-denominated assets like the US treasury bonds or savings accounts become less attractive and hence global investors may move their money to countries with higher interest rates, reducing demand for USD. Commenting on the action, Pranav Mer, Vice President, EBG - Commodity & Currency Research at JM Financial Services said that the breather this week was on profit-booking, after the U.S. Fed's hawkish comments on interest rates and easing geo-political risk premium. The Street awaits U.S. President Donald Trump's decision if the US will enter the Iran-Israel war in two weeks. "On charts prices may find some resistance around Rs 99,300-99,650, while on the downside support is seen at Rs 98,000-97,650," Mer said. The price of physical gold in Delhi-NCR market is still above the Rs 1 lakh mark. This includes a 3% GST levy. Renisha Chainani, Head - Research at Augmont also sees profit-booking in gold after record highs of Rs 1,01,078 per 10 gram on the MCX. "Precious metals have reversed as support from growing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East is offset by a stronger dollar overall and the possibility of fewer interest rate reductions from the US," Chainani said. Technical triggers "Gold prices are consolidating around record-high levels in the range of Rs 99,000($3,360) and Rs 101,000 ($3,475). Despite the Fed's hawkish tone, ongoing geopolitical tensions between Iran and Israel continue to offer downside protection for gold, Jateen Trivedi, Vice President Research Analyst - Commodity and Currency, LKP Securities opines. "The broader trend remains range-bound to positive, with a key support level seen at $3,290, and strong resistance near $3,500 on Comex. Unless there is a clear resolution on geopolitical fronts or a shift in Fed commentary, gold is likely to stay buoyant within this broad band," he added. Silver price today The July silver futures plunged by Rs 1,395 or 1.3% and were trading around Rs 1,05,998. On the COMEX, silver contracts fell by $1.128 or 3.06% per troy ounce to trade around $35.78. Silver prices have retraced from its high, next support is Rs 105,300($35.50), said Chainani, adding that prices should sustain this support for the bull trend to continue.

Amid safe-haven buying due to Israel-Iran tensions and weakness in the dollar index, gold August futures contracts at MCX surged sharply higher by Rs 2,011 or 2.04%, crossing the 1 lakh mark at Rs 1,00,403/10 grams on Friday. The yellow metal's rally seems unstoppable, but a tone of caution still persists as industry experts recently stated that they foresee a potential near-term correction for the yellow metal . Quant Mutual Fund , in a recent note, has highlighted that gold may be due for a short-term correction of 12-15% in dollar terms over the next two months. The fund cautioned investors that the metal may have "peaked out" in the short term, noting that while gold prices have surged recently, the momentum could slow down, and a retracement in prices could be on the horizon. Quant Mutual Fund's outlook aligns with broader commodity sentiment, as the firm continues to advise investors to retain exposure to precious metals over the medium to long term. However, with the ongoing momentum, what does the future outlook of gold looks like? Despite the anticipated correction, Quant MF itself maintains a constructive view on gold in the longer run, citing its portfolio strategy centered on cyclical awareness and liquidity trends. As stated by the firm, 'Our medium-term and long-term views are equally constructive and we reiterate that a meaningful percentage of your portfolio should be dedicated towards precious metals.' Adding to the outlook on gold, Renisha Chainani, Head of Research at Augmont, shared her views on gold prices in India.

Chainani further elaborated, 'The fact that central banks (particularly in emerging markets) still show a strong appetite to buy gold and the safe haven asset status for gold remains intact suggests that the appetite for gold will likely persist.' Looking ahead, Chainani anticipates that unless there is a sudden shift in global risk sentiment or aggressive monetary tightening, gold will likely remain firm, potentially heading towards Rs 1,05,000 in the medium term. Echoing a similar sentiment, Manav Modi, Senior Analyst at Motilal Oswal Financial Services , discussed gold's performance in 2025, noting that the yellow metal has surged more than 30% since the beginning of the year, but has also faced significant swings. Modi attributed the volatility to factors such as President Trump's tariff updates, geopolitical tensions, and concerns over global growth. He explained that while tariffs between the US and China were initially introduced and later reduced, the overall uncertainty in the market, coupled with weak economic data points from the US, continued to support gold prices.
