January 7, 2022Foreign Exchange Rates:
Globally, gold inched lower, hovering close to a two-week low hit in the previous session, after the chief of the World Health Organisation (WHO) said the Omicron variant cannot be considered 'mild', while stronger yields capped bullion's gains. Spot gold was down 0.15 per cent to $1,788.68 per ounce. U.S. gold futures was down 0.06 per cent to $1,788.20.
Analyst View:
Ravi Singh, Vice President and Head of Research, ShareIndia: "The gold prices are trading in a tight range  after the release of the December Federal Reserve meeting minutes signaled a possibility of earlier and faster rate hikes due to increasing inflation. The Omicron concern is also rising day by day, making economic recovery vulnerable."
He suggested, "Buy Zone above - Rs 48,200 for the target of Rs 48,500. Sell Zone below - Rs 47,800 for the target of Rs 47,600."
