Gold price prediction: What’s the gold rate outlook for September 8, 2025 week – should you buy or sell? – The Times of India
Gold price prediction today: Gold prices are likely to remain well supported in the near-term, says Manav Modi, Senior Analyst, Commodity Research at Motilal Oswal Financial services Ltd. He shares the outlook on gold prices and strategy for gold investors:Gold prices surged to record highs on both Comex and the domestic front last week, while silver also hit new domestic peaks and touched its highest level on Comex since 2011, driven by safe-haven demand amid escalating geopolitical tensions and growing expectations of a US Federal Reserve rate cut. Investor sentiment was further bolstered by weak US labor market data, including a sharp slowdown in non-farm payrolls, which rose by just 22,000 in August against expectations of 75,000, and a rise in the unemployment rate to a near four-year high of 4.3%.These developments have solidified expectations for a 25-bps rate cut at the Fed’s upcoming September meeting, with markets now pricing in a nearly 100% probability and even starting to discount a 10% chance of a larger 50-bps cut. Central bank buying added further support, with China increasing its gold reserves for the 10th straight month and Poland proposing to raise its reserve target from 20% to 30%.ETF inflows into gold hit their highest since June 2023, and speculators increased net long positions by over 20,000 contracts. Despite some profit booking, gold held firm near the key $3,600 level and is on track for its best week in three months.This week, all eyes are on the upcoming US inflation data—Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI)—scheduled just days ahead of the critical Federal Reserve meeting. These data points will be key in confirming whether inflationary pressures are easing enough to warrant the expected 25 or more rate cut. A softer-than-expected inflation data could further weigh on the Dollar index, which has already been under pressure, and further support the bullion rally.Conversely, if inflation surprises to the upside, it may complicate the Fed’s decision for additional rate cuts ahead and influence Governor Powell’s speech at the meet, potentially capping some gains for gold and Silver. However, with labor market data already showing clear signs of cooling and market participants fully pricing in a cut, gold is likely to remain well-supported unless inflation data drastically changes the outlook.Stance: Buy on Dips.Supports and Resistances: 1,06,000 to 1,04,000 – 1,08,000 to 1,10,000(Disclaimer: Recommendations and views on the stock market and other asset classes given by experts are their own.

More women are entering the wealth management industry, but they have yet to gain ground in client-facing advisory roles, according to a recent study by private wealth intelligence platform Fintrx.
While the data shows improvement in the industry’s gender gap, the nuance is still notable. Revenue-generating roles are generally better paid and more conducive to leadership roles, according to Fintrx Vice President of Data and Research Emily Goldman.
“Underrepresentation here directly affects female employees’ earnings,” Goldman said. “And that lack of opportunity for leadership and ownership is also going to affect their long-term earnings.”
Younger women are making inroads in wealth management overall, with women accounting for 37.6% of registered professionals aged 20-30, according to Fintrx. For the 30-40 and 40-50 age brackets, the share of women hovers below 27%.
The shift comes as women’s wealth is expected to boom in the coming years. Cerulli Associates estimates $105 trillion in wealth will be passed down to heirs through 2048, with $54 trillion going to spouses. As women tend to live longer than men, they will likely receive the lion’s share.
However, while young women are entering the industry in greater numbers, the growth is concentrated in administrative or operational roles, according to Goldman.
Women account for just 20.2% of producing advisors aged 20 to 30, a percentage near identical for advisors aged 30-40 and 40-50. The share is only modestly higher than that of advisors aged 50-60 (18%) and 60-plus (17.1%).
This gender gap is also reflected in the C-suite, according to Fintrx. Women make up 21.5% of C-suite roles at wealth management firms and are more likely to occupy COO or CFO roles than chief executive or investment roles, the company found.
“This points towards firms needing to create better pathways to these revenue-generating roles and leadership,” Goldman said. “Because when you enter in operations, compliance, legal — there isn’t an easy segue to these book-owning roles, and then long-term strategic leadership roles.”
She noted that an increasing number of women advisors are setting up their own firms. In 2025, there were 39 new female-founded registered investment advisory firms, up from 30 in 2021.
“I think that we’ll see more and more women break out on their own if they’re unable to advance as much or as quickly at wirehouses or larger firms,” she said.
The per-tola price of 24-karat gold increased by Rs16,300 on Tuesday and was sold at Rs464,062 against its sale at Rs447,762 the previous day, All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association reported.
The price of 10 grams of 24-karat gold also increased by Rs13,975 to Rs397,858 from Rs383,883 whereas the price of 10 grams of 22-karat gold went up to Rs364,716 from Rs351,905, showing an increase of Rs12,811.
The rates of per-tola silver increased by Rs570 to Rs7,454 whereas that of 10 grams silver went up by Rs489 to Rs6,390.
The price of gold in the international market increased by $163 to $4,413 from $4,250 whereas that of silver rose by $5.70 to $69.70, the Association reported.
More than 200 deals have disappeared from the market since 6 March, with more upheaval expected for borrowers.
