Gold Price Today – 03-06-2021 – 3 June alert! Yellow metal shows weakness after hitting 5-month high on Tuesday; make use of this buying opportunity, says expert

Gold and Silver Futures on Thursday were trading with a negative bias at 12:10 pm falling by over Rs 170 and Rs 500 respectively. The domestic prices took cues from the international trends in the absence of any major domestic indicators Expert Anuj Gupta, Vice President (VP), Commodity and Currency Research at IIFL Securities said. 

After hitting its highest level of USD 1916.40 on 8 January, the yellow metal showed weakness for the second consecutive day on Thursday. It was trading around USD 1903. The subdued show in bullion was on the back of a stronger US Dollar and positive commentary on the economic situation in the US. US Federal Reserve officials have been maintaining that the current price pressures were temporary. Meanwhile, Silver was trading around USD 28.12.

Gold Vs Silver – Gupta is bullish on both Gold and Silver in the near to medium term. He said that the bullion is set for big gains going down the line. But the real winner for investors has been Silver which has risen by almost 6 per cent since the beginning of January 2021 while the yellow metal is still in the negative from the highs of August 2020, when it hit its peak. 

But over April and May months, Gold has shone brightly gaining by almost 9 per cent while the average increase has been just over 6 per cent for silver during this period. Gupta said that Silver has shown higher volatility, though. 

The overall increase for Gold during the last 2 months has been over Rs 4500, he further said. 

However, better days are ahead for Gold and Silver, he reiterated. 

Fragile US economy, geo-political tension, growing coronavirus cases and crypto currency ban in China have all helped to the cause of the bullion over the months of April and May, he further said.
