The gold market is divided into Indian (MCX) and global (XAU-USD) segments, each with distinct regulatory and trading dynamics. India's derivative market is complex due to high leverage and physical delivery obligations, whereas global brokers offer higher leverage without delivery risks. Gold acts as a crucial inflation hedge and defensive asset, with prices primarily driven by geopolitical tensions and major US economic indicators like FOMC and CPI reports. Success requires understanding market structures, liquidity zones, and the negative correlation between gold and the US dollar.
