Gold outlook hinges on Fed signals; metal could test $4,200: Kotak Sec
Gold has dropped about 10 per cent from its late-August peak near $4,700 to around $4,250, as strong inflation data pushed US rate-hike odds close to 90 per cent. For Indian gold investors, the US Federal Reserve's (Fed) dot plot tonight matters most. Kotak Securities sees a slide to $4,200–$4,000, or a relief bounce if the Fed sounds softer. Watch tonight's signals before adding fresh positions.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Gold fell roughly 10 per cent in under three weeks, from a late-August peak near $4,700 to lows around $4,250.
- Kotak Securities says three or more further US rate hikes in the Fed's dot plot through 2027 could open the door for gold to test $4,250–$4,200, and maybe $4,000.
- On the domestic market, Gold October futures trade near 1,51,750, with immediate resistance at 1,53,250 and first support at 1,48,470.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:Wait for tonight's Fed rate decision, dot plot and press conference before taking any fresh gold position, and treat a clear break above 1,53,250 or below 1,48,470 as the trigger to review your holdings with your adviser.
