Gold may stay volatile ahead of a couple of important economic data. The virus’ spread threatens both demand and supply-side forces, which could affect the US growth outlook, suggesting that the Fed may want to remain cautious until the omicron wave this winter subsides. The US will release ADP employment change for December and aftermarket hours the minutes of the Fed’s latest meeting will be released. The market will also keenly watch nonfarm payrolls for December which will come on Friday. Hence we expect the yellow metal to stay in a tight range of Rs 47,850 to Rs. 48,000 per 10 gram

Trend of gold is positive on the back of the weak dollar on weak US data yesterday. Inflationary pressure and investment demand may support gold prices. For today, we recommend to buy gold at 47800 levels with the stop loss of 47500 for the target of 48500. Internationally it may test $1840 levels very soon.

Gold prices traded firm on Wednesday with spot gold prices at COMEX were trading near $1815 per ounce in the morning trade. MCX Gold February hovered around Rs. 48000 per 10 gram along with rupee fluctuations. Gold prices recovered as investors rode back on inflation hedge along with weak US data. The hawkish FED stance with sooner rate hike has capped upside in gold prices. The dollar index was marginal down while benchmark bond yields were 1% down in the morning trade. We expect gold prices to trade sideways to up for the day with COMEX Spot gold support at $1800 and resistance at $1830 per ounce. MCX Gold February support lies at Rs. 47800 and resistance at Rs. 48300 per 10 gram.

COMEX gold trades little changed near $1815/oz after a 0.8% gain yesterday. Gold continues to take cues from US dollar and bond yields as market players shift focus from virus situation to FOMC minutes which may give more clarity on Fed’s monetary policy stance. Gold continues to trade in a range near $1800/oz and this may continue unless there are fresh triggers, however Fed’s tightening expectations could keep US dollar supported and this may weigh on gold price.

Precious metals gained the ground as the Dollar index retreated. US ISM manufacturing PMI and Jolts job opening data stood weaker supporting the Gold and Silver prices. However, Gold has resistance at 48000 if it breaks and sustains above this level then it may maintain bullish momentum for today as well. US ADP non-farm employment change data may further support Gold and Silver prices as it has been estimated to remain weaker than the previous month’s release.

On the Bollinger Band (20,2), the gold price is trading above the mean with the upper band facing in the upward direction indicating the price to move higher. On the oscillator side, RSI (14) is trading in a comfortable zone indicating the intact bullishness in the gold. We expect Gold may continue it’s outperformance in coming trading days as well and may move towards Rs. 49000. Any correction towards the recent support of Rs. 47500 may be utilised to average the positions.
Buy Zone Above – 48100 for the target of 48300
Sell Zone Below – 47800 for the target of 47600
