As per Axis Securities, pressured by a stronger U.S. dollar and rising inflation concerns that dampened safe-haven demand despite escalating geopolitical tensions. Higher fuel costs lifted bond yields, prompting markets to reassess the Federal Reserve's policy outlook.

Gold Rates In India Prediction:

"With tensions in the Middle East intensifying and energy prices rising, safe-haven demand for gold continues to build. As long as gold sustains above the $5,200 zone, the momentum favors a move toward $5,450-5,600 in the near term. Dips are likely to attract strategic buying rather than aggressive selling," said Prithviraj Kothari, Managing Director at RiddiSiddhi Bullion.

While short-term volatility will remain high due to geopolitical headlines and US economic data, he said, the broader bias for both metals stays constructive, with corrections likely to be shallow and temporary.
