• OI Change: ‑22 %
• Day’s Range: ₹96,422–₹98,807

3. Why Gold Fell Today

Gold typically rises when geopolitical tension ramps up. Following reports of an Iran–Israel ceasefire, risk sentiment improved globally, weakening gold’s appeal as a safe-haven. That triggered a 2–3 % drop in MCX futures today :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}.

4. Side‑by‑Side: Stocks vs Gold

It’s notable that as gold prices dropped, stock markets held steady or rose—suggesting a temporary shift from defensive to risk assets. That pattern is often seen when crises show signs of easing.

7. What Happened Today

• NSE & BSE: Modest gains driven by strong buying in financials & energy.
• Gold (MCX): Sharp sell‑off as safe‑haven demand faded.
• Volume & OI: Gold futures saw healthy trading volumes; OI decline points to some profit‑taking or unwind of positions.

8. Looking Ahead

With gold retreating, attention may shift to earnings and economic data next week—especially inflation and global growth signals. Equity markets could continue riding on positive risk tone, whereas gold’s next move will hinge on new geopolitical or inflation cues.

9. Final Thoughts

Today’s data paints a picture of cautious optimism: equities advanced modestly, while gold corrected after recent highs. Watch for key events this week—like central bank commentary or geopolitical news—that could swing either direction.
