Reasons for fall in gold prices
Gold prices have fallen after the record highs of the last few days, mainly due to the strength of the dollar in global markets and new data related to the US economy. There is uncertainty about the Federal Reserve’s interest rate cut, due to which investors are moving towards other assets. Gold demand has also been affected due to better than expected unemployment and producer price index (PPI) figures in the US. Experts believe that if interest rates remain stable or rise, gold prices may fall further, however, in the long run it can be a good opportunity for investors.
