Gold and Silver Prices Rise Ahead of US Fed Meeting

Precious metal prices on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) rose amid easing oil prices and inflation concerns ahead of the Fed's meeting. Gold futures for December 2026 delivery gained Rs 700, while silver futures increased by Rs 1,500. Spot gold prices climbed 0.4% to $4,009.87 per ounce, and spot silver rose 0.6% to $54.19 per ounce. Regional gold prices in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Hyderabad reflected varying premiums for 22 and 24 carat gold. The price movements highlight investor anticipation of the Fed's rate decision and its impact on inflation expectations.

The Fed's policy outcome and PCE inflation data will shape market sentiment, with gold and silver viewed as inflation hedges. Geopolitical tensions and oil price fluctuations further contribute to volatility. Domestic traders and physical market buyers in major cities are closely monitoring price trends, while analysts note higher interest rates could reduce gold's appeal as a non-yielding asset.

Investors are advised to consider systematic investment plans (SIPs) for long-term accumulation, according to Manoj Kumar Jain of Prithvi Finmart. However, volatility around the Fed meeting could lead to price swings, creating both risks and opportunities for market participants. The Fed's decision on October 28 will determine future market direction, with key support and resistance levels influencing trading strategies.
