    COMMERCIAL BREAK

    “COMEX Gold is trading a tad lower in the early session today after good gains in the previous session. On Tuesday Gold spiked to as high as $1841.9/oz as dollar weakened. However, the close was much
    lower near $ 1823/oz as rising US treasury yields capped the gains. Holdings in SPDR gold witnessed an inflow of 5.5 tons or 0.60 as on Dec 27. The inflow was the biggest inflow in one day (in tons) since 17th June 2022," Ravindra V. Rao, CMT, EPAT, VP-Head Commodity Research Kotak Securities said.

    "We expect the prices to remain range bound amid lack of triggers and thin volume amid year-end holiday season. On the price front we maintain that the range bound move will continue until the range of USD 1778-1830/oz breaks on closing basis," he added.

    Crude

    “WTI Crude oil ended flat on
    Tuesday after hitting a session high of around USD 81.20/bbl. In today’s early session crude is trading mildly higher just above USD 79.50/bbl mark. Recently oil has been supported by refinery closures in the US due to severe winter storm Elliott, further relaxation in COVID restrictions in China and Russia’s response to G7 and EU’s price cap on Russian oil. Crude might continue to take cues from China’s COVID stance as well reopening of refineries as US weather comes to normal. On the technical front, we maintain that the bulls might target $81.50 before we see some corrective move as 52 DMA resistance is placed
    near $81.76/bbl that could limit further gains in oil.” - Ravindra V. Rao
