Gold rates and silver rates in India are likely to be volatile on Monday, May 4, as the international market trades cautiously. In the early hours, spot gold price traded marginally lower and struggled to hold around $4,600 mark, while spot silver surged marginally to trade a little over $75 per ounce. Physical gold rates are broadly flat on Monday across 24 carat, 22 carat and 18 carat.
Investors are assessing US President Donald Trump's next course of action for Strait of Hormuz and against Iran. While, Iran has sent a revised peace proposal. Gold currently remains down by 12% since US-Israel-Iran war started. Amidst this, the data of World Gold Council revealed that central banks globally have increased their gold reserves in the first quarter.
On the other hand, crude oil prices traded under pressure on Monday. US WTI Crude Oil futures traded above 101 with downside of 0.5%. While Brent Crude performed near 108 per barrel mark, with mild decline. Meanwhile, US dollar remained firm above 98 mark after 1% decline last week on Friday.
Reports suggested US officials were informed in advance of the move, consistent with a G7 understanding that major currency interventions are typically communicated among members. On the macroeconomic front, fresh data showed the US economy expanded at an annualized 2% in the first quarter, rebounding from a late 2025 slowdown tied to a government shutdown. Consumer spending increased 1.6%, supported by resilient demand for services, while separate labor data indicated jobless claims falling to multi-decade lows. The releases followed the recent decision by the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates unchanged, though policymakers acknowledged growing internal divisions as economic uncertainty persists stemming from the Middle East conflict, as per Trading Economics.
