Gold rose as the dollar and treasury yields fell on Thursday, after US consumer price data suggested inflation had peaked in April, easing some concerns about a more aggressive US Federal Reserve rate hike, Reuters reported.

The yellow metal resumed its ascent on Wednesday after a knee-jerk reversal tied to the release of US inflation data, as the dollar depreciated as investors’ consumer prices cooled slightly, another report said.

Gupta said ongoing geopolitical tensions would keep commodity prices at bay and strengthen the US dollar against the Indian rupee and other currencies.

He said a strong dollar is not good for bullion. However, a weaker rupee could potentially make imports more expensive for domestic use.

He said the price of 24 carat gold in Delhi is around Rs 51,800 and 22 carat gold is around Rs 51,000. Meanwhile, silver is available at around Rs 63,500.
