Gold price today: Precious metal slips ahead of US Jobs data; MCX closed for Gandhi Jayanti

·Economic Times·Impact 2/5 · Moderate
MeridStreet AI summary

Gold prices fell 0.6% to $4,154.78 an ounce, marking a second consecutive weekly decline. This drop is largely due to a stronger US dollar and higher Treasury yields, which have put pressure on the precious metal. The upcoming US jobs data release will provide clues about the direction of interest rates, a key factor for gold investors. The closure of the MCX on Gandhi Jayanti means that international market trends, Middle East tensions, and weekend developments will likely influence the domestic market's opening on Monday.
