  "account": "New Delhi, Sep 21: Gold futures experienced a decline of ₹832 to ₹1.53 lakh per 10 gram on Monday, as a robust US dollar and concerns over potential interest rate hikes prompted investors to take profits, according to the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX). The futures for October delivery dropped by 0.54 percent, trading at ₹1,53,549 per 10 grams. Last week, gold had gained ₹1,597, or 1.04 percent, to reach ₹1.54 lakh per 10 gram.

In international markets, Comex gold futures fell by USD 32.93, or nearly 1 percent, to USD 4,391.97 per ounce. Gold prices in New York were marginally higher at USD 4,424.9 per ounce last week.

Rate hike concerns, persistent inflation, and geopolitical risks continue to impact sentiment in the gold market.",
