Gold price prediction today: Why is gold rate showing signs of exhaustion around Rs 98,000 level & should you sell or buy?
Gold pared some of the gains witnessed last week. (AI image)
Gold price prediction today: Gold rate has been swinging in the last few weeks and has recently pared gains. Global uncertainties make gold a safe haven bet, but the flow of relatively better news internationally, especially on Donald Trump's tariff front, is taking the sheen off gold.
What's the gold price outlook for this week, and what should investors do?
Maneesh Sharma, AVP - Commodities & Currencies, Anand Rathi Shares and Stock Brokers shares his views and recommendations:
Gold pared some of the gains witnessed last week as the market responded to mounting U.S. fiscal concerns & escalating trade rhetoric from President Trump. This also led to weakness in the dollar as the same stayed below 100, which continued to fuel demand for the yellow metal.
Moody's recent downgrade of U.S. sovereign credit continued to weigh on market sentiment, highlighting the country's unsustainable debt load. This was compounded by the House's passage of Trump's aggressive tax-and-spending package, which the CBO estimated to add nearly $4 trillion to the deficit
However, gains were quickly unwound at the start of the current week as Trump extended the implementation of a 50 % tariff deadline on goods from the European Union to July providing some relief to equity markets ultimately soothing safe haven flows into gold.

Gold Price Outlook
Recent signs that the White House may be making nascent progress in negotiations with some trading partners have curbed investor's desire to hold more of the haven asset such as gold. Physically-backed gold exchange-traded funds have also been in an outflow mode since past five straight weeks after peaking at the highest in more than a year in mid-April indicating gold prices may find some room to consolidate in the short term perspective of 1 - 2 months.
For the current week market participants are eyeing Fed meeting minutes & US preliminary GDP estimate for further direction in Gold prices. Any hawkish stance by members in meeting minutes could confirm rate cut delay until September month leading to further profit booking moves in bullion prices in coming days. On the other hand, escalation seen in Russia Ukraine Geopolitics could fuel volatility in prices at lower levels as no signs of truce emerges so far.
Gold Weekly View: Sideways to Downside Bias
Strategy: Sell on Rise (Duration 1 – 2 Weeks)
Gold had shown signs of exhaustion at levels above Rs. 98,000 in MCX futures contract since last week of April. MCX Aug. futures (CMP 95,731 / 10 gm) could turn bearish in case it gives a daily close below 95,400 /10 gm as levels of 93,200 – 92,400 could be witnessed in 1 – 2 weeks perspective.

Elon Musk's Trump clash backfires; Tesla CEO's net worth takes massive hit, federal contracts under risk
Elon Musk's clash with President Donald Trump appears to have backfired on him. The 53-year-old, who accused the president of being ungrateful, lost $15 billion on Thursday, and his company Tesla's shares tumbled as much as 9% during trading hours. According to Forbes' real-time billionaires list, Musk is worth $399.5 billion, down 3.63%. Tesla slumped 8.9% amid Musk's criticism of Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill'. This comes after the president lashed out at his former ally on Thursday, saying he was 'disappointed' by the billionaire's opposition to the sweeping tax-cut and spending bill that is at the heart of his administration's agenda. 'Look, Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will anymore. He said the most beautiful things about me, and he hasn't said bad about me personally, but I'm sure that'll be next. But I'm, I'm very disappointed in Elon. I've helped Elon a lot,' he said. Meanwhile, Musk unleashed a series of responses on X, platform formerly known as Twitter.

The Tesla CEO also used the president's own words against him. He retweeted the 78-year-old's part criticisms about raising the debt ceiling. In a 2013 tweet, Trump wrote, " I cannot believe the Republicans are extending the debt ceiling—I am a Republican & I am embarrassed!" "Wise words," Musk commented on the post. Read More: 'Disgusting': Why Elon Musk attacked Donald Trump's 'Big Beautiful' bill In his latest attack on Musk, Trump said that he is terminating the tech billionaire's subsidies and contracts. 'The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon's Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn't do it!' the president wrote on Truth Social. 'Elon was 'wearing thin,' I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!' he added.

Trump ally Laura Loomer says Republican law makers wondering if they should side with President Trump or Elon Musk; Tesla CEO responds: Trump has 3.5 years left as President, but I ...
The escalating feud between President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk has reached a critical juncture, with Republican lawmakers now questioning their loyalties as the two most powerful figures in conservative politics engage in an unprecedented public battle over Trump's signature domestic policy bill. Trump ally Laura Loomer reported Thursday that GOP legislators are actively debating whether to support the president or the Tesla CEO. "I know lawmakers who are asking if they should side with President Trump or Elon," Loomer posted on social media. "I've been on the hill all day and it's all anyone is talking about. The most powerful man in the world vs the richest man in the world." Musk's response was characteristically provocative, telling Loomer: "One thing's for sure, it ain't boring!" He then delivered what appears to be a veiled threat to Republican politicians weighing their options: "Oh and some food for thought as they ponder this question: Trump has 3.5 years left as President, but I will be around for 40+ years." Musk claims credit for Trump's Presidential election victory The public rupture intensified Thursday when Musk explicitly took credit for Trump's 2024 election victory after the president expressed disappointment in his former adviser. "Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate," Musk wrote on X. "Such ingratitude." Trump had earlier told reporters during a meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz that he was "very disappointed in Elon" and that he had "helped Elon a lot." The president accused Musk of opposing the legislation only after Republicans removed electric vehicle subsidies that would benefit Tesla. "He had no problem with it. All of a sudden, he had a problem. And he only developed the problem when he found out that we're going to have to cut the EV mandate because that's billions and billions of dollars," Trump said. Battle over 'Big Beautiful Bill' escalates The conflict centers on Trump's massive domestic policy bill, which Musk has repeatedly attacked as a "disgusting abomination" that will increase the federal deficit. Musk has urged Americans to "KILL THE BILL," arguing it doesn't cut government spending deeply enough despite projections it will remove health coverage from millions. Trump disputed Musk's claim that he wasn't consulted on the legislation, stating: "Elon knew the inner workings of this bill, better than almost anybody sitting here." Musk fired back on X: "False, this bill was never shown to me even once and was passed in the dead of night so fast that almost no one in Congress could even read it!" The president also mocked Musk's appearance, referencing the billionaire's recent black eye and suggesting he might be developing "Trump Derangement Syndrome." Trump compared Musk to other former advisers who "become hostile" after leaving his administration, noting that "some of them actually become hostile" when "the glamour's gone."
