Gold could retest record highs as traders eye Powell's speech, RBI policy

Gold prices are poised to remain firm and could edge closer to record highs next week as investors await key US data, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's speech and the Reserve Bank of India's policy decision, analysts said. "Gold moves out of the consolidation range as investors focus on the manufacturing and services PMI data from across regions, US jobs data, and consumer sentiments," Pranav Mer, Vice President, EBG - Commodity & Currency Research, JM Financial Services Ltd, said. "Adding to that would be Fed chair Jerome Powell's speech on Monday, developments over the Russia-Ukraine peace talks and RBI policy meeting on Friday, all of which will be closely monitored by traders," he added. On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), gold futures for the February 2026 contract climbed by Rs 3,654, or 2.9 per cent, over the past week to close at Rs 1,29,504 per 10 grams on Friday.

Gold seen hitting $3,600 by year-end on global uncertainty: Ventura

Gold prices could climb to USD 3,600 per ounce in the global markets by the end of December, driven by global economic headwinds, geopolitical risks and robust investment demand, according to the Ventura Securities. In its latest outlook, Ventura Securities said it expects Comex gold futures to touch USD 3,600 per ounce by year-end, after hitting an all-time high of USD 3,534.10 on August 7. On the domestic front, the most-traded October gold futures scaled a record high of Rs 1,02,250 per 10 grams on the Multi Commodity Exchange on August 8. "Gold retains upside potential with pronounced volatility, supported by weaker US growth, sustained pressure on the US dollar index, trade frictions and heightened geopolitical risks," the stock broking firm said. Global demand trends continue to underpin the rally. Gold demand in the second quarter of 2025 rose 3 per cent year-on-year to 1,249 tonnes, valued at USD 132 billion, reflecting a 45 per cent surge in value terms. Investment inflow
