Gold prices saw a rebound in the domestic futures market on Wednesday after an early decline, driven by persistent global uncertainty. The MCX Gold April 4 contracts were up by 0.24%, trading at ₹87,763 per 10 grams as of 11:50 AM.
Key Factors Driving Gold Price Movement
Global Uncertainty: Continued uncertainty surrounding US President Donald Trump’s tariff policies is providing significant support to gold. Geopolitical tensions, particularly with Russia and Ukraine, are also adding to gold’s safe-haven appeal.
US Economic Data: A drop in US consumer confidence, with the Conference Board’s consumer confidence index falling by 7.2 points to 92.9 in March, is signaling potential economic slowdown. This weaker sentiment is another factor supporting gold prices.
Geopolitical Developments: Positive moves in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, including deals to pause attacks and potential easing of sanctions on Russia, could keep geopolitical uncertainty elevated, boosting gold’s appeal.
