Gold to remain volatile

However, gains were eroded as the US dollar index edged higher from its early-session lows while US Treasury yields inched up marginally. The US consumer price index was up 3.2% year-on-year, which is slightly below the consensus forecast of 3.3%. The CPI rose 3.0% in the June report. Meanwhile, the weekly US jobless claims report came in a bit higher than expectations,” said Rahul Kalantri, VP Commodities, Mehta Equities.

Silver has support at $22.51-22.35, while resistance is at $22.84-23.05 In INR terms gold has support at Rs 58,670 – 58,450, while resistance is at Rs 59,210 – 59,480.

China’s PPI and CPI inflation data fell on a y-o-y basis, thus raising concerns about deflation. The US Dollar Index closed 0.05% lower at 102.48. The two-year US yields at were up 1.06%, whereas the ten-year yields slipped 0.30%. Today’s US CPI inflation data for July will be crucial for the metal. Softer than expected CPI data may support the metal prices to some extent. However, the upside may remain capped as most of the recent US macroeconomic data have been mostly upbeat. The Citi Suprise Index has reached a 28-month high. Support is at $1900/$1890. Resistance is at $1930/$1950,” said Praveen Singh – Associate VP, Fundamental Currencies and Commodities, Sharekhan by BNP Paribas.
