Gold price prediction: What's the gold rate outlook for June 16, 2025 week amidst Israel-Iran conflict - should you buy or sell?
Gold prices witnessed heightened volatility last week as escalating geopolitical tensions took center stage. (AI image) Gold price prediction today: Gold is back in focus amidst the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict which has added to its safe haven appeal in times of increased geopolitical tensions and uncertainties. Positive news on the US-China trade deal talks and better-than-expected US economic data have on the other hand diminished demand for gold. As gold price fluctuations continue, investors are wondering which direction gold will move in, and what should their strategy be? Manav Modi, Senior Analyst, Commodity Research at Motilal Oswal Financial services Ltd shares his outlook on gold prices and strategy for gold investors: Gold prices witnessed heightened volatility last week as escalating geopolitical tensions between Israel and Iran took center stage, overshadowing ongoing trade talks and economic data. Israel launched aggressive strikes targeting Iran's nuclear facilities and oil & gas infrastructure, prompting a strong retaliation from Tehran, which significantly intensified the conflict. This sharp escalation has kept market participants on edge, driving a renewed wave of safe-haven demand. As a result, gold prices surged globally and, on the domestic front, crossed the ₹1 lakh mark for the first time, reflecting the elevated risk premium priced into markets. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like เทรดทองCFDsกับโบรกเกอร์ที่เชื่อถือได้| เปิดบัญชีวันนี้ IC Markets สมัคร Undo While earlier last week optimism over the US-China trade negotiations and strong US jobs data weighed on bullion, the geopolitical shock quickly reversed sentiment. Additionally, mixed US economic indicators, including cooler-than-expected CPI and stronger non-farm payrolls, added to the uncertainty around the Federal Reserve's next move, though markets are still pricing in a 68% chance of a rate cut by September. Meanwhile, China's central bank continued to boost its gold reserves for a seventh straight month, signaling sustained long-term demand. Overall, gold remained in sharp focus as a safe-haven asset amid an increasingly unstable global backdrop. With traders closely watching further developments in the Middle East that could continue to influence bullion's trajectory.

Stock market today: Nifty50 opens above 24,750; BSE Sensex over 200 points up
Market experts anticipate continued pressure due to international market conditions. (AI image) Stock market today: Nifty50 and BSE Sensex , the Indian equity benchmark indices, opened in green on Monday. While Nifty50 was above 24,750, BSE Sensex rose over 200 points. At 9:17 AM, Nifty50 was trading at 24,790.30, up 72 points or 0.29%. BSE Sensex was at 81,337.74, up 219 points or 0.27%. Market experts anticipate continued pressure due to international market conditions, whilst individual sector performance will be influenced by industry-specific developments. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited says, 'The uncertainty stemming from the Israel-Iran conflict has created a risk-off in global markets. The safe haven buying is keeping gold firm but dollar continues to be weak. Interestingly there is no panic in equity markets. Markets will be severely impacted only if Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz triggering a huge spike in crude. This appears to be a low probability event now. ' 'Past experience tells us that times of uncertainty and risk-off are buying opportunities for long-term investors. The difference this time is that the risk-off has not triggered big selling in equities making their valuations attractive. The market scenario characterised by sustained retail buying and fund flows into mutual funds will ensure valuations remaining high for an extended period of time. Therefore, long-term investors can use this risk-off scenario to buy relatively attractively valued stocks like financials. " Asian stock exchanges began Monday trading on a positive note, recovering partially from Friday's losses. Oil prices increased amidst ongoing tensions between Israel and Iran. Gold prices advanced on Monday, approaching a two-month peak as investors gravitated towards safe-haven assets amidst heightened tensions between Israel and Iran, raising concerns about a wider regional conflict. Oil prices increased during early Asian trading hours on Monday following reciprocal attacks between Israel and Iran on Sunday, raising concerns about potential disruptions to Middle Eastern oil exports and a possible wider regional conflict. Foreign portfolio investors sold shares worth Rs 1,263 crore net on Friday, whilst domestic institutional investors were net purchasers at Rs 3,041 crore. FIIs' position in futures market expanded from a net short of Rs 99,478 crore on Thursday to Rs 1.04 lakh crore on Friday.

OpenAI, Meta, and Google are on a quest for the ideal AI device
ChatGPT-maker OpenAI has enlisted the legendary designer behind the iPhone to create an irresistible gadget for using generative artificial intelligence (AI). The ability to engage digital assistants as easily as speaking with friends is being built into eyewear, speakers, computers and smartphones, but some argue that the Age of AI calls for a transformational new gizmo. "The products that we're using to deliver and connect us to unimaginable technology are decades old," former Apple chief design officer Jony Ive said when his alliance with OpenAI was announced. "It's just common sense to at least think, surely there's something beyond these legacy products." Sharing no details, OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman said that a prototype Ive shared with him "is the coolest piece of technology that the world will have ever seen." According to several U.S. media outlets, the device won't have a screen, nor will it be worn like a watch or broach. Kyle Li, a professor at The New School, said that since AI is not yet integrated into people's lives, there is room for a new product tailored to its use. The type of device won't be as important as whether the AI innovators like OpenAI make "pro-human" choices when building the software that will power them, said Rob Howard of consulting firm Innovating with AI The industry is well aware of the spectacular failure of the AI Pin, a square gadget worn like a badge packed with AI features but gone from the market less than a year after its debut in 2024 due to a dearth of buyers. The AI Pin marketed by startup Humane to incredible buzz was priced at $699. Now, Meta and OpenAI are making "big bets" on AI-infused hardware, according to CCS Insight analyst Ben Wood. OpenAI made a multi-billion-dollar deal to bring Ive's startup into the fold. Google announced early this year it is working on mixed-reality glasses with AI smarts, while Amazon continues to ramp up Alexa digital assistant capabilities in its Echo speakers and displays. Apple is being cautious embracing generative AI, slowly integrating it into iPhones even as rivals race ahead with the technology. Plans to soup up its Siri chatbot with generative AI have been indefinitely delayed. The quest for creating an AI interface that people love "is something Apple should have jumped on a long time ago," said Futurum research director Olivier Blanchard. Blanchard envisions some kind of hub that lets users tap into AI, most likely by speaking to it and without being connected to the internet. "You can't push it all out in the cloud," Blanchard said, citing concerns about reliability, security, cost, and harm to the environment due to energy demand. "There is not enough energy in the world to do this, so we need to find local solutions," he added. Howard expects a fierce battle over what will be the must-have personal device for AI, since the number of things someone is willing to wear is limited and "people can feel overwhelmed." A new piece of hardware devoted to AI isn't the obvious solution, but OpenAI has the funding and the talent to deliver, according to Julien Codorniou, a partner at venture capital firm 20VC and a former Facebook executive. OpenAI recently hired former Facebook executive and Instacart chief Fidji Simo as head of applications, and her job will be to help answer the hardware question. Voice is expected by many to be a primary way people command AI. Google chief Sundar Pichai has long expressed a vision of "ambient computing" in which technology blends invisibly into the world, waiting to be called upon. "There's no longer any reason to type or touch if you can speak instead," Blanchard said. "Generative AI wants to be increasingly human" so spoken dialogues with the technology "make sense," he added. However, smartphones are too embedded in people's lives to be snubbed any time soon, said Wood.
