Gold Prices Surge in India as Spot Price Hits One-Month High
Gold prices in India continued to rise on August 5, tracking gains in the international market. The spot gold price surged to a one-month high of $4,175.53 per ounce, while US gold futures climbed 2% to $4,235.30 per ounce.
The rally was driven by a weaker US dollar and declining crude oil prices, which eased inflation concerns and increased the appeal of non-yielding assets such as gold.
Market participants are now awaiting key US economic indicators, including the ADP employment report and the July non-farm payrolls data, which could influence expectations for the Federal Reserve's next policy move.
