Why is the Gold price moving today?
Gold prices are trending sideways as the yellow metal fell from its three-month high level after traders booked profits. A slightly firmer dollar also added to the recent decline, as a strong dollar makes precious metals like gold more expensive for other currency holders, thereby denting demand.
Investors currently await US Personal Consumption Expenditure data, which will help provide cues on the US Federal Reserve’s interest rate stance. Additionally, Fed chair Kevin Warsh’s speech at Jackson Hole is also expected to help provide some guidance on the central bank’s future trajectory.
Despite today’s softness, gold prices remain elevated on a month-to-month basis, supported by concerns over the US Treasury’s bond buyback plan, which aided the fall in the dollar, and robust investment and import demand from China. So far this month, the yellow metal has advanced by more than 14%.
Outlook for Gold Investors
Analysts suggest gold prices will trade with a positive bias in the near-term, aided by the recent weakness in the dollar index as markets await key US economic data. Scaled back expectations of a rate hike and the fall in oil prices also continue to support the momentum for the yellow metal.
“MCX gold October is expected to continue with the positive undertone, having said that a technical correction is not ruled out. Rs. 162,600/10g is support and Rsm 163,600/10g is resistance going ahead,” said Jigar Trivedi, Senior Research Analyst at IndusInd Securities.
Retail investors are advised to track not just domestic rates but also international trends before making buying decisions.
