Gold Price Strategy: Expert Opinion
Gold prices made a new multi-month high in the last session, Deveya Gaglani, Research Analyst, Axis Securities told Zee Business Web. The Prices touched the Rs 53000 level per 10 gram but failed to sustain near the day's high, as investors booked profit after PPI data, Gaglani said.
On the daily chart, Gold prices settled around the Rs 52700 level and have formed a Gravestone doji candlestick, this expert said. This indicates that prices may retrace from the higher level, he said.
"Investors will now focus on retail sales data to take further cues from the Fed. The Poland missile attack has supported Gold at a lower level. The short trend is positive for Gold as long as the 52000 level is intact on the downside," he further said.
