Price of MCX April Gold Futures increased on Monday (1 March) by Rs 254 or 0.5 per cent from the previous closing price on Friday while MCX Silver May Futures’ price also increased by Rs 825 around 1:30 pm. Expert Anuj Gupta, Deputy Vice President, Commodity and Currency Research at Angel Broking gives complete outlook and investment strategy in Gold and Silver. He also tells investors about the spot price of Gold and Silver in Delhi Markets.

The Senior Technical Analyst said that Gold and Silver are seeing weakness in the international markets because of many reasons. One reason is the rise in US Bond Yields which have taken some shine off the bullion. He said there is a possibility that the outlook may remain subdued in the near term.

He also said that the delay around US Coronavirus stimulus is another reason for ongoing strength. Moreover, the US Dollar is getting stronger. Gold and USD have an inverse relationship and when one goes down the other benefits.

The prices of Gold and Silver would have come down further for consumers in India if the USD had not become stronger. USD has appreciated quite strongly last week and is expected to gain this week too. This could negate the advantage of falling international price of Gold and Silver, for consumers back home in India.
