Expected range for Gold Dec Fut is 76120–78210 - HDFC Securities
Global Market Round Up
This week has seen an impressive recovery in gold prices, with spot gold rising by 5.97% to $2716 per ounce, marking its biggest weekly gain since March of last year. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine escalated, amplifying the appeal of gold as a safe haven.
Following a downturn in early November, precious metals have regained momentum due to renewed haven demand. The yellow metal has recovered more than half of its losses incurred in the sell-off post-US election result. Traders ignore the US dollar's upward trend and hawkish remarks from some Federal Reserve officials, which suggest the Fed may cut interest rates at a slower pace.
Crude oil surged more than 6.0% on a weekly basis on the back of the intensifying conflict in Ukraine, which added a geopolitical risk premium to oil prices. Tensions over Iran's nuclear program are also driving up crude prices, as Iran announced on Friday that it will boost its nuclear fuel production capacity.
Natural gas prices rose to their highest level since November of last year. Predictions of nearly all states in the US experiencing cold weather and the EIA reporting the first drop in storage for the heating season contributed to this increase.
The dollar's continued strength and concerns over insufficient stimulus measures from China, the world's top copper consumer, weighed on the demand outlook as copper ended the week with a modest decline.
What to Watch: The Federal Reserve's meeting minutes, October Durable Goods Orders, and the Core PCE Price Index, the Fed's preferred inflation indicator, are among the key macro data that market participants are focusing on this week.
