Gold price today: Yellow metal declines on the US dollar’s rise; experts unveil key levels for MCX Gold rate today

Gold price today: Gold rate fell in the domestic futures market early Monday, tracking weak global cues and tepid demand from the spot market. Yellow metal prices declined in international markets after the US dollar rose to get closer to its two-month high levels.

MCX Gold traded 0.14 per cent lower at ₹76,201 per 10 grams around 9:20 am.

The dollar's rise is negative for gold prices. Since gold is traded in dollars in international markets, the rise in US currency makes the yellow metal expensive in other currencies, weighing on its demand.

Gold gained last week due to weaker-than-expected US economic data, hopes of Fed rate cuts, and geopolitical tensions. This week, the yellow metal is expected to remain volatile, with a focus on fresh cues about Fed rate cuts and the dollar's movement.

According to a Reuters report, traders see a roughly 89 per cent chance of the Fed cutting rates by 25 basis points at its November meeting and an 11 per cent chance it will leave rates unchanged.
