What Analysts Say:
Ravindra Rao, CMT, EPAT, VP- Head Commodity Research at Kotak Securities: "COMEX gold trades marginally higher near $1758/oz after a 0.1% decline yesterday. Gold witnessed a brief rally on Friday in reaction to US non-farm payrolls data but has retreated to trade in a narrow range near $1750/oz level. Weighing on gold is firmness in US dollar index amid higher bond yields, monetary tightening expectations and safe haven buying."
He added that, "Gold may continue to trade in a range as Fed's monetary tightening expectations may be countered by inflation and growth worries however we expect buying interest to emerge at lower levels as rising challenges to global economy may increase its safe haven appeal."
