February 18, 2021Domestic spot gold closed at Rs 46,439 per 10 grams on Thursday, and silver at Rs 68,700 per kilogram - both rates excluding GST, according to Mumbai-based industry body India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA). Gold prices traded 0.47 per cent higher at $ 1,781.10 per ounce in New York. Analysts said that fresh positions built up by participants led to the rise in gold prices.
“COMEX gold trades higher near $1782/oz after a 1.5 per cent decline yesterday when it slumped to Nov.2020 lows. Gold has inched up as US bond yields retreated from one-year high while FOMC minutes showed that the central bank may keep monetary policy accommodative. However, weighing on price is reduced safe-haven demand and continuing ETF outflows. Gold is seeing some recovery after recent sell-off however the momentum may remain weak unless price rescales $1800/oz or there is a sharp correction in the US dollar,'' said Ravindra Rao, VP- Head Commodity Research at Kotak Securities.
Meanwhile, the rupee settled marginally higher by nine paise against the US dollar at 72.65 (provisional) amid muted domestic equities. Brent crude futures, the global oil benchmark, advanced 0.28 per cent to $ 64.52 per barrel.
