Gold tumbled over 1% to $2,620/oz in Asia, extending a 2% slump from Wednesday, as the Fed's hawkish stance dampened bullion's shine. Domestic futures dropped below ₹76,000/10g, hitting a session low of ₹75,753, with potential support near ₹75,100. The Fed's projections of just two rate cuts in 2025, backed by strong GDP growth and sticky inflation, pressured demand for the non-yielding asset. Meanwhile, a surging dollar at its highest since November 2022 added further weight. Despite the dip, gold remains on track for a dazzling 30% annual gain, its best in 14 years. All eyes now turn to US GDP and inflation data for fresh monetary policy cues. Powered by Capital Market - Live News
