Gold slips more than 1% to Rs 1,54,239/10 grams after hawkish Fed tone spurs profit-taking on August 31
AI Market Summary
Gold and silver weakened as hawkish Jackson Hole messaging lifted expectations of a near-term Fed hike, pushing Treasury yields and the US dollar higher—classic headwinds for non-yielding metals. The move reflects profit-taking after a sharp prior run, with positioning now sensitive to upcoming US labor and inflation prints. Geopolitical risk and fiscal/ inflation concerns may limit downside, but the near-term tone remains pressured.
