The strengthening of the dollar index has put pressure on gold prices. According to Rahul Kalantri of Mehta Equities Limited, the announcement by the U.S. President to impose new tariffs on Mexico and Canada has strengthened the dollar, impacting the bullion market. Additionally, speculation that the U.S. Federal Reserve may delay potential interest rate cuts has weakened the demand for gold. The increasing economic pressure in the global market and investors' cautious approach have also contributed to the decline in gold prices.
