Gold Prices Rise ₹1,914 To ₹1.46 Lakh Per 10 Grams On MCX

Gold prices moved higher in futures trade on Friday, supported by firm global cues and easing geopolitical tensions in West Asia. The upward movement reflects renewed buying interest in the bullion market.
On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), gold for April delivery recorded a moderate increase. The gains come even as macroeconomic factors such as a strong US dollar and elevated bond yields continue to exert pressure.
MCX Gold Price Movement
Gold futures on MCX rose by ₹1,914, or 1.32%, to ₹1,46,868 per 10 grams. The increase reflects a recovery in domestic prices aligned with global market trends.
The rise in prices suggests that global cues and geopolitical developments remain key drivers for bullion markets. Domestic futures typically track international price movements with some currency influence.
Global Gold Trends
International gold prices also registered gains, supporting the domestic market. On the Comex, gold futures for April delivery increased by $62.2, or 1.35%, to $4,667.9 per ounce in New York.
This reflects positive sentiment in global bullion markets. The alignment between MCX and global prices highlights the interconnected nature of bullion markets.
Impact of Currency and Bond Yields
Despite the upward movement, certain macroeconomic factors continue to limit gains in gold prices. A strong US dollar typically reduces the attractiveness of gold for global investors.
Additionally, elevated US Treasury bond yields increase the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets such as gold. These factors can moderate bullish trends in gold, even during periods of geopolitical easing.
Geopolitical Developments and Market Sentiment
Easing geopolitical tensions in West Asia have contributed to improved market sentiment. Reduced uncertainty can influence safe-haven demand for gold, although the impact may vary depending on broader economic conditions.
At the same time, investors continue to monitor global developments closely, including monetary policy signals and inflation trends. Gold remains sensitive to shifts in risk perception and macroeconomic stability.
