COMEX gold trades marginally higher near $1855/oz after a 0.7% decline yesterday. Gold jumped to fresh June highs yesterday but failed to sustain and ended lower. Gold’s is struggling to build on recent momentum amid increased debate about Fed’s monetary tightening amid some upbeat economic data and mixed comments from central banks. However, supporting price is rising inflation concerns, geopolitical tensions and renewed virus concerns. Gold’s sharp rise has made it vulnerable to profit taking and we may see some correction if US dollar manages to hold firm.

We expect gold to rebound after yesterday’s decline. Yesterday, gold fell after a Federal Reserve official said the central bank should speed up its reduction of monetary stimulus in response to surging inflation. St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said Tuesday that the U.S. central bank should be more aggressive in managing risks from price pressures. MCX Gold December may rise to Rs. 49,300 per 10 gram.
