On Thursday, gold and silver were settled on a weaker note in the international markets. Gold June futures contract were settled at $2,020.50 per troy ounce down by 0.82% and silver July futures contract were settled at $24.42 per troy ounce, down by 4.81%.

Manoj Kumar Jain Commodity Research Head in Prithvi Finmart says ‘gold and silver extended its fall on Thursday after strong gains in the dollar index and recession fears. The dollar index crossed its resistance level of 101.80 once again amid U.S. banking crisis and debt ceiling issues. Gold and silver traders booked profit in their long positions on the lack of fresh market triggers.’

However, the U.S. unemployment claims surged once again to 2,64,000 against expected claims of 2,45,000. The U.S. unemployment claims reached to their highest levels since October, 2021. The U.S. inflation is also well above the Fed’s target rate of 2.0% and market is expecting further interest rate hike in June policy meetings. The upcoming meeting of the Federal Reserve is scheduled for June 13-14th.

Jain expect ‘gold and silver prices to remain volatile and gold continue to face resistance around $2055 per troy ounce levels and silver could test $23.80 per troy ounce levels in the upcoming sessions. Gold has support at $2010-1996, while resistance at $2034-2055 per troy ounce. Silver has support at $24.10-23.80, while resistance is at $24.74-25.00 per troy ounce.’

According to Ajay Kedia, Director in Kedia Commodity ‘however, despite this downward trend, there are still some indicators of support for gold, primarily due to the presence of lingering economic risks. Lingering economic risks and the ongoing US debt ceiling deadlock provide some support for gold. Furthermore, the inflows into gold-backed ETFs indicate sustained investor interest and highlight the perceived value of gold as a safe-haven asset.’

According to Nirmal Bang Securites report ‘gold and silver prices are trading slightly lower today on international bourses. We expect precious metals prices on
Indian bourses to trade lower for the day. Recommend sell on rise in gold and silver in intra-day trading sessions, as gold prices corrected after
the Fed members hinted that the pause in rate hike in coming months is inevitable and that the economy is doing well for now.

Report said ‘Gold try to sell on rise around $ 2035-2040 for the target of $ 1980-1970. The yellow metals has been resisting at higher levels, sell on rise is the best strategy for the day. Silver looks weak around $ 24.80-25.00 and likely to test $ 23.40 for the day. Try to sell on rise for the day around $ 24.80-25.00 for the target of $ 23.40-23.20’
