On Wednesday, gold and silver were settled on a weaker note in the international markets. Gold June futures contract were settled at $2,037.10 per troy ounce down by 0.28% and silver July futures contract were settled at $25.66 per troy ounce, down by 0.93%. Domestic markets were also settled on a weaker note.

Manoj Kumar Jain Commodity Research Head in Prithvi Finmart says ‘gold and silver showed very high price volatility after U.S. CPI data. The U.S. inflation in April came in up at 0.4% against expectations of 0.4% and up at 4.9% on year on year basis against expectations of 5.0% while core CPI data came in up at 0.4% from March and up 5.5% year on year against expectations of 5.5%.’

Jain said ‘the U.S. inflation data are as per expectations and supported gold and silver prices but market digested the data amid fears of Fed rate hikes. The U.S. debt ceiling anxiety in the market also triggered profit taking. However, weakness in the dollar index and the U.S. bond yields supported prices at lower levels.’

Jain expect ‘gold and silver prices to remain volatile in today’s session ahead of the U.S. unemployment claims and US Core PPI data. Gold prices only sustain above $2055 and silver prices sustain above $26 per troy ounce levels could show further strength otherwise it will test its support levels again. Gold has support at $2022-2010, while resistance at $2055-2068 per troy ounce. Silver has support at $25.40-25.10, while resistance is at $26.00-26.20 per troy ounce.’

Prithviraj Kothari, President of IBJA and MD CEO, RSBL said ‘gold prices have been on an unstoppable run, skyrocketing from the $1800 (Rs 55000) level at the beginning of March to above $250/oz (Rs 61800) – notching up a spectacular gain of over 12%, in the last 2 months. There are basically three factors that are pushing the gold prices higher: Banking Crisis, Recession concerns and De-dollarization concerns that have emerged with the cracks in the banking system in March. These concerns have resulted in a capital flight from equities to gold. I expect gold prices to rise 15-20% above current levels by the end of the year.’

According to Nirmal Bang Securities report ‘gold rose after US inflation data came in slightly cooler than expected, taking pressure off the Federal Reserve to hike interest rates again. The consumer price index advanced by a below-forecast 4.9% in April from a year earlier, a government report showed. Treasury yields dropped following the print, boosting gold, which climbed as much as 0.7%.’

The numbers may give the US central bank room to pause rate hikes as it monitors the performance of the economy. Gold has been trading above $2,000 an ounce for most of this month on bets for more policy loosening, though it pulled back Friday after jobs data pointed to persistent inflationary pressures. Higher interest rates tend to hurt non-yielding gold. Investors are also watching a stalemate over the US debt ceiling, which threatens to sow chaos in financial markets and undermine the dollar’s credibility.’

Report said ‘It seems that the gold prices are taking support around $ 2020 levels and bounced, it seems that the spike above $ 2020 can lead to $ 2050-60 levels; try to buy on dips around $ 2025-30 for the target of $ 2050-60, Silver looks supportive for the day and likely to give extra boost to white metals and see sharp rise till $ 25.70-26. Try to buy on dips around $ 25.30-35for the target of $ 25.80-26.’
