Gold traded steady, as investors’ anticipation regarding rate hike and balance sheet unwinding cues in the Fed policy meet weighed on the metal, while the safe haven asset got some support amid the selloff in riskier assets and concerns related to Russia-Ukraine discord. NATO sent reinforcements and the U.S. put troops on alert as Ukraine tensions rose, while Britain said it was withdrawing some staff and dependents from its embassy in Ukraine, similar to what U.S. did a day prior. Cautious approach is advised as investors will keep their eyes on the Fed’s two-day policy meeting, which will start from today, amid rate hike cues expectations in March. Focus will also be on Governor Powell’s comments regarding the outlook of the economy and inflationary concerns. On the domestic front, gold prices could hover in the range of Rs 48,250- 48,800 per 10 gram.

Gold prices traded steady on Tuesday with spot gold prices at COMEX were trading near $1842 per ounce. Gold prices at MCX were trading near Rs. 48585 per 10 gram supported by rupee depreciation. The yellow metal has capped downside ahead of the US FOMC meeting outcome. The traders and investors remained cautious over inflation worries and added risk premium over Russia -Ukraine tension. We expect gold prices to trade sideways to up for the day with COMEX Spot gold support at $1820 and resistance at $1852 per ounce. MCX Gold February support lies at Rs 48300 and resistance at Rs 48800 per 10 gram.

COMEX gold trades in a narrow range near $1840/oz after a modest 0.5% gain on Monday. Gold is range bound as support from safe haven buying, weakness in equity market and lower bond yields is countered by firmness in US dollar and increased expectation for Fed’s monetary tightening. Gold ETF investors also moved to sidelines after sharp inflows last week. Gold may remain choppy amid mixed factors however firmer US dollar ahead of Fed decision may keep pressure on prices.

Gold has maintained its breakout around $1840 as money is getting diverted from risky assets like crypto currencies and equities in safe haven assets like Gold and US Dollar, before the important US Fed meet. Hedge funds are caught on the wrong foot right now as they have continued to increase their bearish bets. We believe two reasons for the hike in gold prices, one was a rise in geopolitical situation and second was renewed demand from Gold’s ETF. Friday saw inflows of 27.6 tones with a market value of more than $1.6 billion dollars. This was the biggest dollar-valued inflow since its listing in 2004. Gold is expected to trade steady till the announcement of the FOMC meeting where new direction will take place in Gold after the Fed would have stipulated its stance and timeline of increasing rates.
