MCX Gold & International Market Update
On the international side, spot gold was seen trading close to $4,560 per ounce, while COMEX gold futures were hovering around $4,552 per ounce. Global bullion levels stayed supported by the kind of geopolitical jitters people usually watch for, especially around the Middle East conflict, and also by steady interest from investors chasing safe-haven assets.
At the same time, domestic bullion mood got another push after the Indian government lifted import duties on gold and silver from 6% up to 15%. This change is meant to rein in imports, and also to ease the strain on foreign exchange reserves, so yes it’s more than one reason at once.
Should You Buy Gold Now?
Experts say longer-term investors may still treat gold as a shield against inflation and broader economic anxiety. Still, with prices moving fast and sitting near record territory, potential buyers are better off monitoring daily bullion movements, before placing any big order, or even committing to a major purchase.
