Analyst View:
Ravi Singh, Vice-President and Head of Research, ShareIndia: "Gold is showing profit-booking on account of gains in the U.S. bond yield and strength in the dollar. However, gains in global energy prices and the downbeat U.S. pending home sales, durable goods and core durable goods orders data released last week supported precious metals. Gold prices may show some more correction this week."
He suggested, "Buy Zone above - Rs 51,700 for the target of Rs 52,000. Sell Zone below - Rs 51,300 for the target of Rs 51,000."
