In the international bullion market, gold prices rose for a third day on increased bets of Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent urged the US central bank to lower borrowing costs.
Spot gold price was 0.5% higher at $3,372.03 per ounce, after rising 0.2% in the previous session.
The US dollar eased and the Treasury yields fell on Wednesday after Bessent suggested the Fed’s benchmark rate ought to be at least 1.5 percentage points lower than it is now. Lower borrowing costs and declining yields tend to support gold, as it pays no interest.
“Weakness in the dollar index and 10-year Treasury yields coupled with growing expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut in September supported gains in precious metals. Signs of stress in the US labour market and manageable inflation levels further strengthened the case for monetary easing in September and potentially in December as well.
The US dollar languished near multi-week lows against the euro and sterling. The dollar index, which measures the currency against the euro, sterling and four other major peers, was steady at 97.704.
Jigar Trivedi, Senior Research Analyst at Reliance Securities noted that the markets are almost certain of a 25 bps cut in September, with some positioning for a larger 50 bps move.
“The latest US CPI report eased concerns over tariff-driven inflation, while signs of a cooling labour market added scope for further monetary easing by the US Federal Reserve, supporting the gold prices,” Trivedi said.

Trivedi said that the outlook for gold prices remains bullish for intraday.
