Gold prices face headwinds as expectations of further Federal Reserve interest rate hikes intensified following a stronger-than-expected August jobs report, pushing spot prices lower. Rising tensions in the Middle East, fueled by U.S.-Iran military strikes, provided some support through higher oil prices. Despite these pressures, central banks and entities like the People’s Bank of China continue to accumulate gold reserves, while Indian jewelers like Shanti Gold and Eighty Jewellers are experiencing robust revenue and profit growth driven by strong domestic demand and capacity expansions. The premature redemption of Sovereign Gold Bonds at ₹15,334 per unit also reflects the current market value of gold.
