Domestic gold prices slipped below the Rs 1,50,000-per-10-gram mark on Wednesday (June 10), as traders continued to book profits ahead of key US inflation data, amid concerns that higher inflation could keep interest rates elevated for longer.
"The correction has been significant after the import duty-driven spike on May 13. The initial rally following the duty hike largely reflected higher domestic costs rather than a fresh fundamental breakout, and prices have since retraced as markets refocus on global macroeconomic factors," Jateen Trivedi, VP Research Analyst (Commodity & Currency) at LKP Securities, said.According to market experts, the import duty hike helped gold achieve the Rs 1,65,000 target almost immediately, but that move was largely policy-driven and created a profit-booking opportunity rather than a fresh long-term breakout.Spot gold prices last closed below the Rs 1.50 lakh mark on May 11, 2026, settling at Rs 1,49,942 per 10 grams on the NSE.

Gold outlook: Should investors buy, hold or sell?Market experts estimate that the next important support for gold is seen near Rs 1,45,000 per 10 grams. On the upside, Rs 1,55,000 remains a major resistance level, and as long as prices remain below this mark, overall sentiment is likely to remain weak."The recent correction in gold prices is largely driven by a stronger US dollar, supported by robust economic data, which has reinforced expectations of prolonged higher interest rates. Elevated bond yields have further reduced the appeal of non-yielding assets like gold. For investors, the decline presents an opportunity to accumulate through a staggered SIP approach or on dips," Hareesh V, Head of Commodity Research at Geojit Investments Limited, said
