MCX Gold Bounces +0.51% — Rupee Weakness Lifts Import Costs

WHAT HAPPENED MCX Gold recovered to 152510 INR/10g at 23:28 IST, posting a +0.51% gain from the previous close. The bounce halts a two-session downtrend that had driven prices to 150824 INR/10g at 13:29 IST on the same day. USD/INR held near 95.01 INR, while silver mirrored upside at +0.23% to 230083 INR/kg and crude advanced +0.50% to 8579 INR/bbl.

WHAT IT MEANS This recovery from the 164604 INR/10g peak establishes a key support-test zone near 152000–152500 INR/10g. The modest gain signals stabilization after the sharp -1.32% decline recorded at 14:04 IST, though gold remains well below yesterday's session high. Rupee softness at 95.01 supports import parity pricing for MCX gold.

WHAT TO WATCH Break and hold above 153000 INR/10g will confirm bullish rejection of the downtrend. Failure below 152000 INR/10g risks resumption of the decline toward 150824 INR/10g support.
