Technical Outlook
International Gold: Easing safe haven appeal continues to dampen the bullish outlook of the metal. Optimism over the global economic growth outlook, firm U.S dollar and stable global equities prompted investors to rely on risky assets. A moderate physical demand and expectations of central banks’ may taper its quantitative measures soon, also weighted down the sentiment. Meanwhile, recent feeble economic releases from the U.S and China may limit major rallies in the counter.
Domestic Gold: Though weak overseas sentiments limiting major rallies in prices a weak INR likely to support prices in the immediate run.
Technical View: London Spot: Expect a choppy trade inside $1670-1800 levels and breaking any of the sides would suggest a medium term direction for the commodity.
MCX: Prices need to break and sustain above Rs 47500 to continue rallies. Else, there are chances of choppy trading in the immediate run.
