According to news agency PTI, Saumil Gandhi, a commodity analyst at HDFC Securities, said gold started the week on a weak footing, mirroring shifts in geopolitical and macroeconomic conditions over the weekend. He noted that tensions around the Strait of Hormuz have escalated quickly. Within 24 hours of reopening, Iran tightened controls, while the US seized an Iranian cargo vessel allegedly trying to bypass sanctions. These developments have cast doubt on the durability of the ceasefire and ongoing US-Iran negotiations. The uncertainty has heightened concerns over energy prices and inflation, supported the US dollar, and weighed on precious metals. Investors are also expected to closely track global macroeconomic cues through the week.
Separately, Kaynat Chainwala, Head of Commodity Research at Kotak Securities, said in the report that market participants will monitor key US data points, including retail sales, housing figures, weekly jobless claims, and consumer confidence.
