Gold prices bounced back on Wednesday from one-month lows hit in the previous session, as the dollar and bond yields weakened a day ahead of the release of U.S. consumer price data that could build the case for or against further interest rates hikes, according to Reuters.

Gold to trade with a positive bias 

“COMEX Gold prices eased on Tuesday and closed near a two week low of $1959.9 per troy ounce, as the dollar index surged above 102.5 levels, amid concerns over weak Chinese economic data, as well as the health of the US banking sector. Moody’s Investors Service downgraded 10 small and mid-sized American lenders and said it may do the same with a handful of major firms. In China, exports and imports fell much more than expected, continuing to point to a lackluster recovery in the world’s second largest economy, further bolstering the greenback. Still, losses were capped owing to safe haven bids and ease in the US 10-year treasury yields,” said Ravindra Rao, CMT, EPAT, VP – Head Commodity Research, Kotak Securities 

“Meanwhile, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia President Patrick Harker said the US central bank may be able to cease interest-rate increases, barring any surprises in the economy, though rates would need to stay at their current elevated levels for some time. We expect gold prices to trade with a positive bias for the day amid safe haven bids. Still, the upside might be limited as investors remain cautious ahead of US CPI due tomorrow,” Ravindra Rao added.

Gold to remain volatile 

“Gold and silver prices ended lower on Tuesday, with the yellow metal slipping to a 1-month low and silver falling to 2-month lows after weak Chinese import and export data.  Chinese exports fell worse than expected by 14.5% in July, its highest decline since February 2020. After downbeat Chinese data, Yuan fell to more than two week lows and supported the dollar. The dollar index tested 102.50 marks and pushed precious metals lower. We expect gold and silver prices to remain volatile this week ahead of the US inflation data,” said Rahul Kalantri, VP Commodities, Mehta Equities 

“Gold has support at $1916-1905 while resistance is at $1937-1948. Silver has support at $22.58-22.42, while resistance is at $22.94-23.10 In INR terms gold has support at Rs 59,020 –  58,840, while resistance is at Rs 59,490 – 59,610. Silver has support at Rs 69,780 – 69,320, while resistance is at Rs 70,840 – 71,540,” Rahul Kalantri added.
