What Analysts Say
Ravindra Rao, VP-Head commodity research, Kotak Securities:
“COMEX gold trades marginally lower near $1738/oz after a 0.1% decline yesterday. Gold weakened as US dollar and bond yields steadied amid lack of any fresh cues from FOMC minutes. Also weighing on gold is upbeat global growth outlook and continuing ETF outflows.
However, supporting price is rising virus cases, loose monetary policy stance of major central banks and improvement in consumer demand. Gold may witness choppy trade however general bias may be on the upside on dovish central bank stance”.
Kshtij Purohit, Lead – International & Commodity, CapitalVia Global Research:
''On the domestic front, MCX Gold June opened on a negative note but has rallied more than 250 points since morning. Bullish momentum has been witnessed since the market tested the major support of 44200-44100 levels and we could expect prices to trade near 47000 in the upcoming sessions.''
