US Fed Rate Cut Impact LIVE: Fed rate cut to drive jewelry exports momentum: Colin Shah
US Fed Rate Cut Impact LIVE: US Fed rate cut is a welcome move for the Gems and Jewelry sector, especially given the current volatility in trade due to the tariff. With the US being a large market for exports, the Fed cut post the implementation of tariffs will drive momentum in exports by bringing in some relief to the business, said Colin Shah, MD, Kama Jewelry.
Going ahead, Shah expects gold prices to be elevated with lower US yields making the metal more attractive to investors. In the domestic market, the demand is likely to remain steady even with mild price fluctuation, given the festive and wedding season. Prices could hover in the range of ₹1,10,000 to 1,12,000 per 10 grams in the domestic market and $3,600 to $3,700 per ounce in the international markets in the near term.

But why bother now when you can worry about it later, said Apurva Sheth, Head Of Market Perspectives and Research, SAMCO Securities.
