Sensex Today | Stock Market LIVE Updates: GIFT Nifty indicates positive start as index looks to extend gains

Published on 17/09/2025 07:03 AM

Gold maintained its most recent gains, which saw it break beyond $3,700 an ounce for the first time due to traders’ wagers that the Federal Reserve would lower interest rates at its meeting on Wednesday.

Less than $10 separated bullion from Tuesday’s new high of $3,703.07 an ounce. A weaker US dollar has also helped it, since one indicator is currently trading at levels last observed in March 2022. For other currency holders, gold is less expensive as the US dollar declines.
