  • International market benchmarks
  • Currency exchange rates
  • Central bank policies
  • Demand from the jewellery and industrial sectors

Meanwhile, the gold rate on MCX declined on Friday morning due to profit booking amid a strengthening US dollar, as concerns over the US-Iran ceasefire persisted and crude oil prices climbed by a per cent.

MCX gold June futures declined by 0.60% to ₹1,52,561 per 10 grams, while MCX silver May futures dropped by 0.70% to ₹2,42,067 per kg.

The dollar index climbed by 0.10% to 98.93, making the yellow metal expensive for overseas buyers after the US Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge- Personal Consumption Expenditures index- increased by 2.8% year-on-year (YoY) in February. Investors now await the US Consumer Price Index data for March, due later in the day.
