Gold Price Today, Gold Price Outlook, Gold Price Forecast: Gold prices were trading weak in India on Wednesday, mirroring the international rates. On Multi Commodity Exchange, gold December futures were ruling at Rs 47,780 per 10 gram, down Rs 33. While silver December futures were trading flat at Rs 65,005 per kg. Globally, yellow metal prices eased, retreating from the key $1,800 mark, as a stronger U.S. dollar and elevated bond yields dented bullion’s safe-haven appeal ahead of key central bank meetings, according to Reuters. Spot gold was down 0.2% at $1,788.66 per ounce. US gold futures dropped 0.2% to $1,790.60.

Routine downside correction is witnessed in Gold whenever it hovers around $1800. Yesterday’s fall can be attributed as modest profit booking. Robust equity market along with strong US dollar capped gains in gold. Gold has also struggled to attract safe-haven demand as equity markets continue to move from record highs to fresh record highs. It is still likely that inflationary fears will continue to support gold as market participants await more input from key central bank meetings, including the ECB this Thursday and the Bank of Japan. Another reason for profit booking in gold was US consumer confidence rose higher than expected. Money managers’ position remains the same compared to last week and so we are not seeing any momentum on the upside. Once speculators start adding long positions in gold, we believe it will implode above $1825 soon. Intraday support for Gold in MCX is 47500 and resistance at 48150.

The market focus is on the key meetings of the Bank of Japan and the European Central Bank (ECB) scheduled on Thursday and next week’s Federal Reserve and Bank of England policy decisions. Investors are trading cautiously this week due to uncertainty over the timing of central bank rate hikes amid rising inflation concerns. After a continuous rally, Gold has witnessed profit booking yesterday which may sustain for a few more trading sessions.

COMEX gold trades marginally lower near $1790/oz after a 0.7% decline yesterday. Gold is pressurized by gains in the US dollar and continuing strength in equity markets. However, supporting price is rising inflation concerns, rise in virus cases, worries about China’s property market and renewed US-China tensions. Rise in China’s imports and ETF inflows also show a pick up in buying interest. Gold is struggling to sustain above $1800/oz level and may remain choppy unless there are fresh triggers, however rising challenges to the global economy may keep a floor to prices.
