What is the opinion of experts
According to commodity market experts, long-term signals for gold remain strong, but in the short term, gold prices may remain between 75,800 and 77,500 in the domestic market. At the same time, prices may remain in a range in the international market as well. According to experts, the indications for the direction of gold prices will be decided with the results of the Federal Reserve meeting to be held on December 17-18.
If Goldman Sachs is to be believed, there may be a jump in gold prices in the coming time and gold can reach the level of $ 3150 per ounce. According to the report, if concerns about the US economic situation increase, then prices will rise to these levels. Apart from this, the priorities of the US policy next year will also have an effect in determining the direction of the price of gold.
At the same time, according to Jiten Trivedi, VP Research Analyst of LKP Securities, data related to the US economy will keep the price of gold fluctuating in the short term. According to the analyst, gold can trade between $ 2600 and $ 2700 in the international market in the coming time.
