The gold rates in India are directly impacted by the repo rate by the central bank. The six-member committee responsible for determining India's benchmark interest rate, the repo rate, is scheduled to start its meeting from June 5th to June 7th. This rate directly shapes the borrowing expenses for banks and indirectly affects loan interest rates for both businesses and individuals. RBI Governor Mr. Shaktikanta Das will announce the committee's decision on interest rates at 10 am.

Each economist surveyed by Bloomberg anticipates that the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) will keep the rate unchanged at 6.5 percent on Friday.

The Reserve Bank of India last raised the repo rate by 25 basis points (bps) on February 8, 2023, bringing it to 6.5 percent. One basis point equals one-hundredth of a percentage point. Previously, during its December 2022 meeting, the RBI MPC had set the repo rate at 6.25%.

Gold prices in Bangalore today are witnessing a downfall amidst the market fluctuations due to high volatility in the market. One of the reasons might be the election results in India. The investors are also waiting for the MPC meeting result that will decide the next big move in the market.
