After three consecutive days of higher close, gold saw some profit booking yesterday on account of higher yields, gains in US equities and US dollar strength ahead of September US employment data on Friday. US service sector also saw stronger than expected momentum which helped US equity and dollar rally higher. The dollar traded higher for the first time in four days. Friday’s jobs report will have a strong impact on the financial markets and shape the future direction of equities as well as gold prices. A strong jobs report could result in gold prices moving lower. MCX Gold is likely to remain in range of 46200-46900 till Friday’s job report. MCX Gold has some support in form of weak INR.

Gold prices traded weak on Wednesday with spot gold prices at COMEX were trading near $1755 per ounce in the morning trade. Gold prices witnessed selling with stronger dollar and rise in US bond yields. The 10 year US Treasury yields rose to 1.55% pushing gold prices down. However, persistent inflation worries over rise in energy cost has capped downside in gold prices. The traders and investors are also awaiting today’ ADP Payroll data to gauge key Non-Farm payroll data due on Friday.
We expect gold prices to trade sideways to down for the day with COMEX Spot gold support at $1740 and resistance at $1770 per ounce. MCX Gold December support lies at Rs. 46500 and resistance at Rs. 46900 per 10 gram.

Gold may continue to decline as investors remain cautious ahead of the US non- farm payrolls data due on this Friday which is expected to come on a higher note at 488K. These numbers if met could comfortably pave way for Fed’s announcement of taper plans in the November meeting. A higher than expected US service PMI for September and the prospects of asset tapering might lead to the strengthening of dollar and treasury yields, which might ultimately turn negative for the non-yielding yellow metal. MCX Gold December futures may decline to Rs.46,400 per 10 gram for the day.
