Gold prices have witnessed volatility recently after a rise in the US dollar driven by elevated crude oil prices. As per MCX, domestic spot gold prices have declined more than 4% since the US-Iran war started on February 28. Hence, this can be a buying opportunity for those who want to benefit from the dip.
A sharp rise in crude oil prices and lingering uncertainty surrounding the US-Iran conflict have increased concerns of an inflation flare-up, reducing the prospects of near-term rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve, keeping gold prices under pressure. According to Reuters, US Federal Reserve chief nominee Kevin Warsh denied on Tuesday that he had promised the US President to cut interest rates.
Warsh's comments were aimed at assuring US senators that he would act independently of the White House while acting as the Fed Chair.
Gold prices last year experienced their strongest bull run since 1979, rising by over 75%. In recent months, gold prices have risen modestly amid safe-haven demand and global economic uncertainty.
Meanwhile, silver prices have seen even steeper increases due to strong demand and currency fluctuations, rising from roughly ₹78,600/kg in 2023-2024 to over ₹200,000/kg in early 2026.
