Market Sentiment & Drivers
Dollar Strength
- The U.S. dollar has rallied as a preferred haven, making gold more expensive for other currency holders
Inflation & Interest Rates
- Rising oil prices due to the Strait of Hormuz blockade have increased inflation expectations, leading traders to anticipate that central banks will keep interest rates higher for longer
Safe-Haven Shift
- While gold is traditionally a safe haven, the current energy shock is driving more immediate capital into energy commodities and the dollar

Can Gold Prices Rise Again?
- Technical Levels: Support at $4,600 per ounce; resistance at $4,800
- Geopolitical Factors: The U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz could escalate, renewing safe-haven demand
- Fed Rate Expectations: Rising oil prices could trigger inflation, potentially forcing central banks to keep rates higher
- Central Bank Buying: Continued accumulation by global central banks provides long-term support
Key Considerations for Buyers
- GST: 3% applicable on gold value
- Making Charges: Typically range from 5% to 35% for jewellery
- Investment Options: Gold ETFs or Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGB) help avoid high making charges of physical jewellery
