Market took the policy statements positively and the dollar index also cooled off after monetary policy statements and supported precious metals.

The Federal Reserve resumed raising interest rates and Chair Jerome Powell left open the possibility of further hikes, which he emphasized will depend on incoming data that has recently signaled a resilient US economy. After pausing rate increases in June, policymakers lifted borrowing costs again at their policy meeting on Wednesday for the 11th time since March 2022 to curb inflation. The quarter percentage-point hike, a unanimous decision, boosted the target range for the Fed’s benchmark federal funds rate to 5.25% to 5.5%, the highest level in 22 years.

Nirmal Bang Securities Gold Fundamental Outlook For 27 July 2023
Gold and silver prices are trading higher on international bourses. We expect gold to trade higher for the day as traders price in lower odds of further US monetary tightening in September after the Federal Reserve raised rates to the highest level in 22 years. As anticipated, we have witnessed a robust rally in gold prices, with indications pointing towards its potential continuation throughout the day. Therefore, we highly recommend capitalizing on any downward price fluctuations by strategically purchasing, with a target range of 59800-60000 for the day. In yesterday’s trade, Silver outperformed gold in percentage terms, showcasing a positive trading session as it surged from a low of 74550 to reach the impressive level of 75600. The remarkable performance of the white metal suggests a strong bullish sentiment, leading us to believe that it has the potential to reach the 76500-77000 zone in the immediate term.

The dollar index however declined following the comments from Fed chair with market participants hoping that the Fed is near the end of its rate hike campaign. A decline in greenback is supportive for gold prices where they have key support at Rs.59000 per 10gm levels. On the other hand, the yellow metal has near-term resistance at Rs. 59700 per 10gm levels or $1985 per ounce. A convincing move above Rs. 59700 per 10gm level could lead to further upside momentum towards Rs. 60500 per 10gm levels in coming days.

Geojit MCX Technical Commentary
Gold KG Aug: Choppy trade inside Rs 60000-58200 levels would continue and either side breakout would suggest fresh short term direction.
Silver KG Sep: Break above the resistance of Rs 77000 would continue rallies. Else, weak momentum is likely in the cards.
