Why are gold prices dipping?
The recent fall in gold prices can be attributed to the strengthening dollar and concerns about inflation.
In recent days, the U.S. dollar has strengthened and remained near a four-month high, making gold less attractive to holders of other currencies.
Additionally, inflationary pressures may slow the Fed’s expected rate-cutting trajectory in 2025.
Although gold is considered a safe haven, higher interest rates reduce investors’ interest in the yellow metal, which is a non-yielding asset.
The future direction of gold rates in Hyderabad and globally will largely depend on the geopolitical situation and U.S. economic data.
