Gold prices decline due to weak global cues and dollar’s rise
Gold and Silver Prices Plummet 10% After Weekend Surge On early Monday, gold rates in the domestic futures market declined, following weak global cues and lackluster demand from the spot market. Internationally, gold prices fell as the US dollar approached its two-month highs.
As of around 9:20 am, MCX Gold was trading 0.14 percent lower at ₹76,201 per 10 grams. The dollar’s rise negatively impacts gold prices since gold is traded in dollars internationally, making it more expensive in other currencies and affecting demand.
Last week, gold prices increased due to weaker-than-expected US economic data, expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts, and geopolitical tensions. This week, gold is anticipated to remain volatile, with traders focusing on new signals regarding Fed rate cuts and dollar movements.
Report indicates that traders estimate an approximately 89 percent chance of the Fed cutting rates by 25 basis points at its November meeting, with an 11 percent chance of maintaining current rates. According to Manoj Kumar Jain of Prithvifinmart Commodity Research, gold has support at $2,658-2,644 per troy ounce and resistance at $2,688-2,704 per troy ounce. For silver, support is at $31.40-31.15 and resistance at $32-32.40.
On the MCX, Jain noted that gold has support at ₹76,040-75,800 and resistance at ₹76,630-76,950, while silver has support at ₹91,000-90,220 and resistance at ₹92,400-93,300.
Gold and Silver Prices Plummet 10% After Weekend Surge Jain recommends buying gold on dips around ₹76,040, with a stop loss of ₹75,770 and a target of ₹76,800. He also suggests buying silver above ₹91,200, with a stop loss of ₹90,350 and a target of ₹93,200. Rahul Kalantri, VP of commodities at Mehta Equities, expects gold to find support between $2,624 and $2,605, with resistance between $2,661 and $2,678. For silver, support lies between $30.72 and $30.50, with resistance anticipated between $31.15 and $31.34.
In Indian rupee terms, gold support levels are at ₹75,980-75,810, with resistance between ₹76,460 and ₹76,670. For silver, support is projected at ₹91,050-91,450, with resistance between ₹92,290 and ₹92,680, according to Kalantri.
