On the Multi-Commodity Exchange (MCX), gold futures drooped 0.16% to Rs 46,935 for 10 grams at 1145 hours IST on Tuesday. Silver prices also slumped on June 28. July silver futures were down by 0.31 per cent at Rs 69,020 a kilogram.
In the international market, gold prices inched lower amid concerns that the US Federal Reserve will tighten its monetary policy sooner than expected. Spot gold was down 0.2% at $1,775.42 per ounce, as of 0100 GMT. US gold futures fell 0.2% to $1,776.40, according to Reuters. The dollar index strengthened 0.1% against rivals. SPDR Gold Trust, the world’s largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, said its holdings rose 0.3% to 1,045.78 tonnes on Monday from 1,042.87 tonnes on Friday.
“Gold prices opened slightly higher on Monday and consolidated during most of the session in the range of Rs 46,900-47,100 levels. Prices traded in a tight range in the last few sessions as investors remained on the sidelines given the US Federal Reserve’s mixed signals on policy tightening. Therefore, we expect gold prices to consolidate in the range of Rs 46,800 – 47,300 levels in the short-term,” said ICICI Securities in a report.
“Technically, August gold futures bears have the overall near-term technical advantage. A five-week-old price downtrend is in place on the daily bar chart. A bearish pennant pattern has formed on the daily chart. Bulls’ next upside price objective is to produce a close above solid resistance at $1,826.40. Bears’ next near-term downside price objective is pushing futures prices below solid technical support at $1,750.00. First resistance is seen at last week’s high of $1,795.60 and then at $1,800.00. First support is seen at today’s low of $1,770.40 and then at the June low of $1,761.20,” said Amit Khare, AVP- research commodities, Ganganagar Commodities Limited.
