Muthoot Finance, Manappuram Finance climb up to 5% as MCX gold tops Rs 1.48 lakh/10 grams
Weaker-than-expected US June jobs data and downward payroll revisions reduced near-term Fed tightening expectations, pushing spot gold up over 1% and lifting India's MCX gold to around Rs 1.48 lakh/10g. Lower real-rate pressure is supportive for non-yielding metals; silver also rose over 2%. Higher bullion prices improve collateral values for gold-loan financiers, driving gains in related equities.
