Bullion remains range-bound

As per Reuters, noted that gold continues to trade under pressure from a firm US dollar, which makes bullion more expensive for overseas buyers and limits upside momentum. Expectations around US Federal Reserve policy have also kept investors cautious, as interest rate trajectories remain uncertain amid mixed inflation signals.

Crude oil prices, according to Reuters, were steady to volatile in recent sessions, adding to broader commodity market fluctuations. Energy price movements continue to influence inflation expectations, which remain a key factor for bullion sentiment, while a strong dollar has kept pressure on gold prices.

Reuters also pointed out that central bank purchases and consistent inflows into gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) continue to provide structural support at lower levels. Despite this, profit booking at higher price zones has prevented a sustained breakout in domestic futures markets, keeping prices range-bound.

Silver prices have shown comparatively higher volatility, driven by both investment demand and industrial usage.

Customers must note that jewellers may add making charges, taxes, and GST to the bill, which could significantly increase the final purchase price of the item. Retail prices may also vary slightly across cities depending on local demand, transport costs, and dealer premiums.
