Gold prices on the Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX) dipped on Wednesday due to delays in the US-Iran deal, which are causing geopolitical concerns and global economic uncertainty. Even though the US launched strikes at Iran, US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, said on Tuesday that the potential deal to end the US-Israel conflict with Iran could take a few days. Meanwhile, Israel’s attacks on Lebanon are also intensifying tensions.
Amid this uncertainty, gold traded at Rs 1,56,229 on MCX in the morning session, down from Rs 1,57,264 a day ago.
