Gold price prediction today: Gold prices are seeing positive momentum, and while volatile, the near-term outlook remains optimistic, says Vedika Narvekar, Research Analyst - Commodities & Currencies, Anand Rathi Shares and Stock Brokers.Gold gained around 0.7% last week and extended the move above $4,400 at the start of this week, briefly testing the $4,450 mark, before Tuesday’s global bond selloff pulled prices back toward 4,340-4,360. The broader trend, however, remains positive. The rally has been supported by softer US inflation and retail-sales data, which reduced expectations of a September Fed hike, alongside a weaker dollar and renewed investor demand.Meanwhile, Global gold ETFs added about $3 billion in July, reversing two months of outflows, while holdings increased by 39 tonnes year-to-date. August flows have also remained positive.
