Spot Gold Price & Spot Silver Price

"Today, gold slipped below $4,290 as market focus now shifts to delayed U.S. NFP, retail sales, and Dec S&P flash PMIs for clearer policy signals. Gold remains supported by a soft dollar and rate-cut expectations, though consolidation is expected ahead of key U.S. macro data." According to Kotak Securities Commodities Exchange Report.

"Spot gold settled modestly higher at $4,305 on Monday, trimming earlier gains as optimism emerged due to improved geopolitical sentiment, which encouraged some profit-taking in gold, even as the U.S. dollar remained broadly soft. Spot silver outperformed, surging over 3.5% to settle above $64, amid strong investor interest & momentum buying. Meanwhile, Fed officials' comments were mixed, as NY Fed President Williams struck a hawkish tone, emphasising policy's move toward neutral, while Governor Miran reiterated a dovish stance, advocating faster rate cuts." the report further added.
