London spot Gold ended marginally lower at $1,809.66 an ounce, fell to below $1810 an ounce, but still remained not far from a 4-weeks high, as traders await the payrolls release on Friday for an update on the American labour market recovery. MCX gold October future may stay in a tight range as traders are keenly focusing on U.S. nonfarm payrolls data. The Labor Department will release the non-farm payrolls report for August at 18.00.00 pm IST. Solid jobs recovery is an important criteria for the U.S. central bank to start paring pandemic-era stimulus measures. We expect the evening session to be more volatile for the yellow metal. However, MCX Gold October futures may stay in a range from Rs 46,850 to Rs. 47,150 per 10 gram during the day session. MCX Bulldex for September may appreciate to Rs. 14,200 since sentiment is positive ahead of key US economic data.

COMEX gold trades marginally higher near $1815/oz after a 0.2% decline yesterday. Gold trades higher supported by weaker US dollar and safe haven buying amid mixed economic data, slowdown in China, persisting virus risks and rising inflationary pressure. However, weighing on price is weaker investor interest as is evident from continuing ETF outflows. Firmness in equities has also reduced gold’s appeal as an alternative asset. Gold may remain choppy amid Fed uncertainty but increasing risks to global economic recovery may keep prices supported.

Gold prices continue to struggle to find momentum despite plenty of bullish sentiments such as dollar weaking, falling yields and positive fed commentary. Bulls have some technical advantage however producing a closing above $1835/oz is still a challenge for market participants.
Gold on MCX has also dropped below 47000 and finding it difficult to maintain above 47500 levels. Employment data release from the US is the key event for the market participants which is expected to come lower than expectation and may bring new life to gold prices. Participants who have strategic position are advised to hedge it while tactical positions must be align to key pivotal levels either side proactively during the day.
Key level for GOLD – 47033
Buy Zone Above – 47050 for the target of 47166-47341
Sell Zone Below – 47025 for the target of 46858-46714
