MCX gold August slips 0.21% to ₹1,44,124 per 10 grams; silver September rises 0.54% to ₹2,31,630 per kg
Mixed precious-metals action followed softer US labor data (ADP 98k vs 118k expected) and Fed remarks suggesting easing inflation risks, reinforcing rate-cut expectations ahead of nonfarm payrolls. Lower-rate expectations typically support gold, but a dollar index holding above 101 is a near-term headwind by raising non-USD bullion costs and dampening import demand. Near-term direction hinges on payrolls and Fed reaction.
