Federal Reserve rate hike

Gold prices fell nearly 3% this week as higher crude prices and shifting US rate expectations pressured bullion.

Sensex gained 363 points and Nifty closed near 23,900 as US Fed rate hike concerns eased despite geopolitical tensions.

Gold posted its first weekly gain since May, supported by easing Fed rate hike expectations, weaker US jobs data and a softer dollar.
