Despite global gold prices easing, Indian bullion prices remained flat this week while the rupee slightly declined compared to the US dollar due to outflows of foreign funds.

The price of 24-carat gold (10 gram) started the week at Rs 98,896 on Monday, rose to Rs 1,00,533 on Wednesday, and ended the week at Rs 98,880, according to data published by the India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA).

"Gold traded weak by another $25 at $3345, down 0.70 per cent, as expectations of tariff deals between the US and trade partners like Japan and the EU reduced safe-haven appeal. These developments may keep gold volatile, especially at elevated levels,” said Jateen Trivedi, VP Research Analyst - Commodity and Currency, LKP Securities.

The focus now shifts to the upcoming Fed rate decision next week, which will be crucial for future price direction.

In the domestic market, rupee depreciation cushioned the fall, limiting the MCX gold decline to 0.50 per cent. With global cues softening, the short-term range for gold has shifted lower to Rs 97,000 to Rs 99,000, the analyst added.

Congress MP Abhishek Singhvi on Saturday described the resignation of Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar as a "political exit camouflaged as a constitutional lie", accusing the government of showing signs of insecurity over its inability to control the narrative on impeachment motion against Justice Yashwant Varma.

He said Dhankhar wanted both Houses to join on the issue, and, perhaps, that is linked to his sudden resignation and silence.
