Gold in Stock Market
The yellow metal, the gold has increased just little (0.5-1%) in dollar values this calendar year. In rupee terms, it has increased by more than 11%. In a low-interest-rate environment, gold is quite appealing. Since the US Federal Reserve and other major central banks began raising interest rates in May 2022, gold has begun to lose value. Rising interest rates, hawkish statements, and the withdrawal of cheap liquidity diminished gold’s investment appeal.
We anticipate that gold prices will trend sideways through H1CY23. Festive consumption and a pause in global central banks’ rate-tightening strategy will drive gold demand in H2CY23. A break in the rate hiking cycle will cause the USD to weaken, making gold and silver more affordable. Gold is a global commodity that is largely traded in US dollars. As a result, the USD’s trajectory affects the pricing of these precious metals. Around CY23, gold is expected to trade in the $1900-1975 range, or Rs 55,000-57,000 in INR terms.”
