New Delhi, Jun 26: With looming uncertainty and no likelihood of an early economic recovery in sight, the bull run in gold prices is here to stay. Analysts expect domestic futures to touch ₹ 52,000 per 10 grams in the next few months, till Diwali.
Experts also predict that with the current trend, gold may reach historic levels around ₹ 65,000 per 10 grams in two years time.
Futures of the yellow metal have touched new highs in India off late. On Wednesday, the August contract of gold futures on the Multi-Commodity Exchange (MCX) touched an all-time high of Rs 48,589 per 10 grams.
It has, however corrected since and is currently trading at ₹ 48,057 on the MCX, higher by ₹ 116 or 0.24 per cent from its previous close.
Market experts are of the view that both domestic and international gold prices are yet not done breaching records and will touch new highs in days to come.
The resurgence in the number of new cases of coronavirus infection across the globe has added to the uncertainty and fears.
Speaking to media persons, Anuj Gupta, DVP for Commodities and Currencies Research at Angel Broking, noted: "In short term we are expecting it to reach ₹ 48,800-49,000 and for long term, we are expecting ₹ 51,000-Rs 52,000 till Diwali."
On the prices in the international market, he said that it may reach around $1,790 per ounce in the near term from the current levels of $1,762 and the long term, it is likely to be around $1,820-1,850 per ounce.
Gupta noted that with International Monetary Fund's (IMF) latest downward revision of economic outlook, both global and of India, and the rising number of cases and high demand by gold exchange traded funds (ETF) have led to this record breaking rise in gold prices.
Covid-19 battered India's economy is projected to contract by 4.5 per cent this fiscal, according to the IMF and the global output is projected to decline by 4.9 per cent in 2020, 1.9 percentage points below the IMF's April forecast.
Hareesh V, Head of Commodity Research at Geojit Financial Services, said that gold's safe haven appeal will remain on the higher side as there is little hope of a quick global economic recovery amid rising virus cases across the world.
"Increased geopolitical instability and an under-performing dollar also lift the metal's sentiments," he added.
According to Prathamesh Mallya, AVP Research, Non-Agro Commodities & Currencies at Angel Broking, said that with the global output to contract and the economies in a deeper recession than most anticipate, gold as an asset class is a safe bet for investors across the globe.
"Although, the physical demand has declined drastically due to the restrictions and lockdowns, the activity of global central banks and their net purchases of gold signal that uncertainty will continue for most of 2020," he said.
He was also of the view that in the international market price of the metal may move towards $1,850 per ounce and in the domestic market it is likely to move higher towards Rs 50,000 per 10 grams.
"The investment demand as seen in the net additions of ETF holdings also signals that gold will shine for a much longer time even if the pandemic is under control. Till then, keep buying gold, if not in physical form, but in digital form," Mallya added.
Industry insiders like Aditya Pethe, Director, WHP Jewellers said: "I basically feel that the current trend for the gold is bullish and for the coming next 2 years, it is likely to move upwards. No one can predict the exact price as currently the trend is on rise but it might change after 6 months. In general for the coming 6 months to one year, the gold prices are likely to cross $2,000 which comes to roughly Rs 55,000. For a temporary moment it may reduce, basically fluctuate as well but overall trend of gold is going to be bullish."
On his part, Ishu Datwani, Founder, Anmol Jewellers said: "Yes - it's very likely that the gold price could easily go up to Rs 60,000-Rs 65,000 in the next two years. There is also a possibility of it going up even more."
"A lot of banks have been buying gold and there is also a possibility that the Indian rupee will depreciate against the dollar. This and geopolitical reasons will cause bullishness in gold."
The couple have been identified as Neha Anjum and Pradeep, both hailing from Chitradurga.

2 incidents recently took place in Mangalore Muslim Girls married to Hindu boys, both of them came back their Husbands also embraced Islam. all knows that Islam only a true community rest all leads to hell fire and baseless
Infact she loved hell fire by loving a non believer of Allah who created all the universe. It's better for a Muslim man to marry a slave women instead of marrying a non believing women. Same way for a believing women it is better to marry a believing slave man instead of marrying a non believing rich person. May Allah give Hidaya to both.
MastAli , it's better than worshipping a child rapist
she has become blind in love, its okay no big issue, when the whole world is becoming Muslim, these incidents should not stop our spirit of sharing the belief of Islam. See the percentage of growth of Islam its higher than any other religion. Those who enjoying the news that Girl married Hindu remember my words Islam will enter every home, Truth will prevail and falsehood is bound to perish..
..powattt apara...attig pooith.....2 months l wapas bandaaal ....but it will b too late....
i am a muslim... i dont see what is wrong with this...so what?
she was told it is haram by her parents , yet she did... its her decision.
you all should start ignoring such cases and go ahead and get a life .
Proud indian...
Your view is only yours and it wont effect the one who created you & ME...and all that exists...
Before you mention such silly and arrogant things... Just look what ISLAM says about the CREATOR and the LIFE he had given us all, also in YOUR VEDAS.. which says NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI... there is no image of God..
It proves that the so called GODs, YOU guys are worshiping in the form of Stones and others are NOT GOD its a man made stones which is LIFE LESS. and stones cannot help U or it will not reach GOD who created U & ME and all that Exists..
Atleast Use your God give intellect when you are worshiping the STONES, animals or even their shit...
The more U worship the created things, U hearts are becoming LIFELESS just like the STONES... Please look for TRUE GOD and Worship him alone ... which is a light for the HEART.
The Girl who run after many gods will not effect a bit for ISLAM.. the religion of TRUTH. please note that...
All the best!

Jai hho Bharath Matha

Hidayath denewala Allah hai. Log kuch nahi karsakthe hain.
Congratulations to the couple. You married on your will. Wish you a happy married life!
She left her everything for you, Please take good care of her.
Have a happy life. All the best
She has taken very unwise decision by neglecting her parents. Since she has no respect to her parents, I am sure she will not respect any one else and she will bring more headache to her lover + his parents. However, I pray Allah to give her right way of thinking and let us come to know about her mistake and repent for it. Any how, we are not bothered about her as it is her will and none is going to force her to come back to her original.
what goes around will comes around. but at the moment let them both enjoy....
May Allah protect us from hell fire......Inna illahi wa inna ilahi rajiwoon. may allah guide us in a straight path.
Guys, take it easy. And dont post rude comments. Mistakes are done by everyone. It is better for her to repent. She may correct the mistake. we never know what is the future. Lets not judge anyone. Judgement is from the lord.
congrats... wish u happy married life :) ... she escaped from oppression and slavery ... even cattle lifter in particular community demand higga mugga dowry ... ... haha ...... education level saha hennu makkalalli jaasthi ide ... they dont want to become 1 out of 4 ... so they opt out for christains and hindus ... not only this case , like this many cases are underway ...
Hindu guys are looking for Muslim girls out there.. but forgot about our own sisters..please god gv sme good thnkng to our brothers.. our sister are getting ruined by caste system but these fellow mates are looking for others instead of searching inside.. I dnt knw wat will happen to our sisters
May Allah save all of brother and sister from the fitnah of Iblish... Yha Allah please we born as muslim and grant us death with iman Ameen
This is the result advanced tech. Parents has to check their all mobile nos which has fake names ie real boys name as girls names (dummy) names and incoming calls blocked by lovers. Only user will unlock during parents absence.
Several Muslim girls have married non-muslim men before also. No big deal!
And in all cases, the marraiges have failed and the girls have returned back to their families. This one also will return in a year or so.
parents are not much educated enough to the effect of Facebook and whatsapp. If you want to provide phone to your children give them simple phone where they can not download illicit apps
After getting bored with worshiping Cow, Monkey God and idols. definitely she will return back to the real God. Insha Allah
Ajmer Case is going to repeat again!
truth will prevail and evil will perish soon. In shaa Allah
Inna Lillahi wa inna illahi Rajivoon. Lack of follow ups by the parents and overconfidence of parents and Lack of God fear and religion of Islam leads to these kind of things.
chaddi dal i hate coz its doing wrong is not gud murthi puja is wrong way so i hate chaddi jihad
Congratulations Girl for the best decision.
This is the sign of qayamat, In Sha ALLAH, all this kind of girls will get big punishment.
happy married life, ishwar bless you both.
I am a proud kafir (Infedel) and will always remain so. Millions of girls worldwide - especially from islamic countries and turning to hindusim - one true religion.
I see alot of non-muslims are cursing Islam as always but let me tell you if you go through survey you will find out that most of Hindu girls have got married with Muslims men but we dont show off like you. ISLAM IS THE RELIGION OF PEACE and if you doubt it come to me i will clear your doubts. If you want to cross check what i have said then you better check my Past you ll find out how many HINDU girls have been my Gfs but ISLAM opened up my eyes and showed me the right path so i left all of them to live in peace and got myself prepared for the life hereafter.
I WARN YOU TO STOP ATTACKING ISLAM. TAKE MY ADVISE START LEARNING ABOUT ISLAM THEN COMPARE WITH YOUR RELIGION I ASSURE YOU LL FIND THE REAL LIFE.
Dudhka Dudh Panika Pani :)
