Gold Prediction for Tomorrow: Key Levels

Univest's desk is watching whether gold can extend Wednesday's soft tone into 8 October 2026. A sustained move in crude oil prices and the US Dollar Index overnight will be the main swing factor, since both influence MCX pricing directly.

Key Drivers for Tomorrow

• Crude oil rose 0.99 percent on MCX, extending its move higher from the previous session's sharp fall.
• Indian equities slipped after two days of gains, with the Nifty 50 down 0.76 percent and Sensex down 0.59 percent, while India VIX rose 2.28 percent to 13.92 and Nifty Metal, Nifty Auto and Nifty IT led the declines.
• Movement in the US Dollar Index, which typically has an inverse relationship with metal and bullion prices on MCX.

Univest's desk will revisit this gold prediction for tomorrow once Thursday's opening trade confirms direction.
