These factors are responsible for the rise in precious metals
Motilal Oswal Financial Services Senior Commodity Research Analyst Manav Modi said gold and silver prices remained stable after a sharp rise earlier this week and are on track for another weekly gain, while investors await US employment data for hope of interest rate cuts this year. According to Dilip Parmar, disappointing US economic data has also fuelled the possibility of monetary easing by the US Central Bank Federal Reserve by September, which has boosted demand for gold and its prices saw a slight rise.

Experts say that swap traders are now predicting a 70 percent chance of the US Fed Reserve cutting interest rates in September. In such a situation, gold prices are expected to trade with a positive trend. However, Praveen Singh of Fundamental Currencies and Commodities said that a strong job report could soften gold prices again.
