What Is Driving Prices Today
The US Federal Reserve held its key interest rate steady at 3.5 to 3.75 percent in its April 2026 meeting the third straight meeting with no change. While markets had broadly expected this decision, the Fed’s cautious tone on rate cuts due to rising inflation driven by surging crude oil prices has kept gold from making strong gains. US WTI crude oil jumped 2.4 percent to near $109.5 per barrel and Brent crude rose nearly 3 percent to $114 per barrel, adding to inflationary concerns globally.
The US Dollar Index hovered near 99, while the rupee weakened slightly to Rs 95.24 per dollar. A weaker rupee typically pushes gold prices higher in the domestic market. Spot gold on international markets traded around $4,550 per ounce and silver was higher by around 1 percent near $72 per ounce.
On the domestic demand side, the ongoing wedding season across India is lending support to retail gold prices, with jewellers reporting steady footfall in major cities despite elevated price levels.
