Gold to remain volatile
“Gold and silver prices witnessed a roller coaster ride on Monday but managed to close higher. Both precious metals delivered their best monthly performance in the last four months, as an overall weak dollar coupled with expectations that major global central banks are nearing the peak on interest rate hikes boosted investor sentiment. Gold and silver extended their gains after downbeat Chinese manufacturing PMI data raised possibilities of a Chinese stimulus to support the economy. However, the dollar index recovered from 15-month lows and limited the gains of precious metals. Global equity markets were mixed but escalating tensions between Russia-Ukraine is supporting safe-haven buying in precious metals,” said Rahul Kalantri, VP Commodities, Mehta Equities.
“We expect gold and silver to remain volatile in today’s session. Gold has support at $1951-1940 while resistance is at $1971-1982. Silver has support at $24.44-24.25, while resistance is at $24.76-24.88. In INR terms gold has support at Rs 59,380-59,100. while resistance is at Rs 59,790-59,920. Silver has support at Rs 74,780-74,220, while resistance is at Rs 75,940–76,520,” Rahul Added.
Traders eye PMI Data
“Gold prices edged lower as the U.S. dollar firmed, while investors looked forward to key economic data this week for signs on how long the interest rates could keep rising to quell sticky inflation. Gold in the month of July posted gains of more than 2%, the biggest monthly rise in four months on rising expectations of a pause in a rate hike cycle by the major central banks globally. Fed official Goolsbee said the U.S. central bank is ‘walking the line pretty well’ on bringing inflation down without causing a recession, and will watch the data as September approaches to judge if more monetary tightening may be appropriate,” said Manav Modi, Research Analyst Commodities and Currencies at MOFSL.
“A recovery in the dollar spurred some losses in gold as data showed that U.S. credit conditions were tightening amid high-interest rates. Market this week will be keeping an eye on the PMI data from major economies and US jobs market data which could provide further clarity regarding the strength in the economy,” Manav Modi added.
