The international gold prices are affected by the banks crashing in the USA. However, Anuj Gupta, Vice President of Commodity and Currency Research at IIFL Securities, noted that in the international market, gold prices increased by 6.49 percent and closed at USD 1988. He added that there were doubts regarding Federal Reserve having enough room to increase interest rates following growing pressure and the banks crashing. He reckons that safe havens provided a boost to gold.
The yellow metal is expected to go up to Rs 60,000 to Rs 60,500 this week. The investors are suggested to keep an eye on the US Federal meeting this week and the rupee prices in comparison to the dollar. Currently, USD 1 is trading at Rs 82.63.
On the other hand, silver prices dipped a bit but have shown a positive trend in the last 10 days. Silver is currently trading at Rs 71,800 per kg.
