Gold and Silver prices today on 30 April: Gold rate rose on the MCX on Thursday (30 April) morning, mostly on value buying after the US Federal Reserve maintained policy rates. However, gains were capped as crude oil prices vaulted to levels last seen four years ago, raising inflation fears and dimming the prospects of near-term interest rate cuts.

MCX gold June futures were 0.27% up at ₹1,49,650 per 10 grams, while MCX silver July futures were 0.73% up at ₹2,39,980 per kg around 9:13 am.

The US Federal Reserve on 29 April kept the federal funds rate steady for the third consecutive policy at 3.5%–3.75%. This Fed policy meeting was likely the last for Fed Chair Jerome Powell, as his term expires on 15 May. The US Federal Reserve underscored that inflation risks have increased due to higher energy prices driven by the West Asian conflict.

Important geopolitical developments

June futures for the international benchmark Brent crude rose more than 4% to $123 a barrel today, while US West Texas Intermediate added nearly 2% to $108.86.

Brent crude has surged to its highest levels since mid-2022, LSEG data shows, as the Middle East conflict chokes supplies. The threat of the conflict dragging on continues to gain traction.

Oil prices have reacted this way as a report suggested the United States military would brief US President Donald Trump on potential action against Iran, raising worries that armed conflict could resume, building on the American blockade of Iranian exports.

China’s growth slows

China’s factory activity topped analysts’ expectations in April, although growth slowed from the prior month when it hit a year-high, as new orders saw a slowdown.
