What's Behind The Drop in Gold Rate Today?

In the international market, gold slipped to around $5,010 per ounce on Monday as investors booked profits after a 2.5 percent rally in the previous session. The earlier surge had been supported by weaker-than-expected US CPI data, which strengthened expectations of further rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve. Markets are currently factoring in slightly more than two rate reductions this year.

Investors are now closely watching the release of the FOMC meeting minutes, the US GDP advance estimate, and PCE inflation data for clearer signals on the timing of the next interest rate cut.

Geopolitical developments are also in focus, with nuclear talks between the US and Iran, along with US-led negotiations to end the Ukraine war, scheduled to resume on Tuesday.

"Gold prices remain elevated and result in a selective level of new buy orders but also reflect the continued global uncertainty with currencies moving. However, the price may have limited near-term upside potentials due to profit-taking activity that takes place from time to time," said Prashant Mishra, Founder & CEO of Agnam Advisors.
