Gold Futures Rise on US-Iran Ceasefire Talks
Gold prices went up because people are hoping that the United States and Iran might stop fighting.
This makes investors feel better, so they buy more gold.
But some people are still worried because the fight isn't over yet, and higher energy prices could make things more expensive.
Gold might not go up too much because of rules about money from the US.
But there are still people buying gold, which helps keep the price from going down too much.
Gold futures rose by ₹988 to ₹1,42,376 per 10 grams on the MCX.
International gold prices increased by $66.30 to $4,082.20 per ounce.
Potential US-Iran ceasefire talks improved market sentiment.
Inflation concerns and monetary policy expectations influence gold prices.
Strong physical demand from China and central bank purchases support gold prices.
