“COMEX Gold prices gained almost 1% on Tuesday after the US producer prices data showed that core and headline prices were both ahead of expectations in April, but there were significant downward revisions to March, tempering concerns about sticky prices. Meanwhile, Fed Chair Powell reiterated that inflation is decreasing more slowly than anticipated, which will keep the central bank on hold for a prolonged period,” explains Kaynat Chainwala, Senior Manager, Commodities Research at Kotak Securities.
On Wednesday, the Fed Chair described the unexpectedly high PPI data as "mixed," leading to a surge in gold prices both in Delhi and other parts of India, as well as globally. This rise in gold prices reflects investor concerns over potential inflationary pressures and the uncertain economic outlook.
“With traders revising expectations for a rate cut, gold, a traditional hedge against inflation, saw renewed interest despite the increased opportunity cost associated with higher interest rates. Gold is poised for volatility as the market awaits crucial U.S. consumer price figures for insights into future Fed rate decisions,” says Saish Sandeep Sawant Dessai, Analyst at Angel One.
Gold is regarded as a reliable hedge against inflation, and for good reason! This reputation stems from its tendency to either maintain or increase in value during periods of inflationary pressure. In fact, this very quality makes gold an attractive option for investors looking to safeguard their wealth from inflation’s detrimental effects.
