"The possibility of sustained higher interest rates is weighing on gold. Strong Nonfarm Payroll data boosted the dollar index to 105, further pressuring gold prices. Additionally, profit booking and concerns over China potentially halting gold purchases are contributing to the current weakness in gold," said Jateen Trivedi, VP Research Analyst - Commodity and Currency, LKP Securities.

Neha Qureshi, Senior Technical and derivative Research Analyst, Anand Rathi Commodities & Currencies recommended selling gold August futures on rise at 71,400, keeping the stop loss at Rs 71,800 and a target price of Rs 70,900.

"Despite this recovery, the yellow metal is yet to be out of woods as China paused gold buying in May and US ISM services and nonfarm payroll report have been encouraging. The metal may remain subdued in short term, though medium to long term prospects are constructive," said Praveen Singh – Associate VP, Fundamental Currencies and Commodities, Sharekhan by BNP Paribas.
