MCX Gold Prices Trade Flat Amid Declining Oil Prices
Gold prices on the MCX traded flat at Rs. 1,53,171 per 10 grams on September 22 as oil prices declined, reducing expectations of further interest-rate hikes by the Federal Reserve.
Oil prices have been steadily dropping over the past few sessions, and this has had a direct impact on gold prices. October gold futures rose 0.05% to Rs. 1,53,171 per 10 grams, while September silver futures advanced 0.13% to Rs. 2,39,620.
Chris Weston, head of research at Pepperstone, noted that while crude has come off its recent highs, a reversal higher could intensify the rates story and make gold prices continue to face headwinds.
