Gold rises to one-week high, heads for weekly gain on easing oil prices
Gold rose to a one-week high on Friday, its first weekly gain in four, as softer oil prices eased inflation worries. Spot gold gained 1.2% to $4,390.11 an ounce. Higher US interest rates, now 3.75%-4%, and a strong dollar can still cap gains. Indian buyers held back, waiting for lower prices. If you plan to buy gold, stagger purchases instead of timing the market.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Spot gold rose 1.2% to $4,390.11 per ounce, touching its highest level since September 11.
- Softer oil prices eased inflation concerns and helped gold post its first weekly gain in four weeks.
- Gold demand in India stayed subdued this week as buyers waited, hoping for lower prices.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you are planning a gold purchase, consider buying in small parts over time rather than waiting to catch the lowest price, since rates and the dollar can move either way.
