Meanwhile, Gold futures prices on the MCX for December 05, 2024 dropped by 0.42% or by ₹332 to 78,200.
The short-term decline in gold prices has been attributed to a rise in the US dollar (Currently at ₹84.0725 per dollar) as investors eyed US macro data which includes inflation data and GDP prints to anticipate potential rate cuts by the US federal Reserve.
This also comes a day before Dhanteras which starts on Tuesday, October 29, 2024. Gold prices on the occasions of Dhanteras and Diwali have gone up nearly 30% over the last one year.
